I don't think this calf is having fun and the practice of yanking it off it's feet while it's at a run is occasionally fatal:



I go to rodeo's/chuckwagons but I don't make any pretense about trying to defend the events. Because there's no defence that can be offered.

On the other hand, as I said earlier, this calf isn't veal yet so that's the upside.
