After roping the calf, the cowboy dismounts, runs down the rope (which is anchored to the saddle horn), lays the calf on its side and ties any three of its legs together with a “piggin’ string” he carried clenched in his teeth.

It requires a great athlete to accomplish the mad dash in a matter of a few seconds. In January 2003, this event’s name was changed to tie-down roping.
