The diameter of breakaway and calf ropes are measured in millimeters. According to 60-year, rope-making veteran Dub Grant of Dub Grant Rope Co., “Those ropes are made over in Japan. They’re twisted over in Japan, so they use the metric system. So a 10.0 is about like what we would call a 3/8.”

That’s 3/8 of an inch—the “typical” size of a team roping rope, for instance.

Josie Conner made statement after statement with big checks on the 2024 Cowboy Christmas breakaway trail, eventually amassing more than $15K.
