Junior Boys calf tying is where young contestants can hone their skills on tying calves, without having to rope them first. Starting line will be 100 feet from the calf. The calf should be tied to a stake with a rope 10 feet long and the stake should not be visible from the ground. The  contestant must ride his horse to the calf, dismount and throw the calf by hand. If the calf is down when contestant reaches the calf, it must be stood up and re-thrown . The rider must then tie any three legs together with a "piggin" String" and stand clear. The calf's legs must remain crossed and secured for 6 seconds after completion of the tie.
