This was a roping competition at Fort Klamath, Oregon, August 9,2014. Great roping on a beautiful day. The ladies really knew how to handle the rope and did a great job.

I'm impressed. I might be able to throw a rope (so long as it did not have to be accurate). I might be able to sit on a horse (so long as it did not move anywhere). But put them all together...I'm in awe.

Don't 'the girls' also jump off their horse, throw the calf to the ground & tie 3 of the calf's legs together?
Or, is that a different event?

Some of the photos show the Heeler. I wanted to high light the roper in this series. It was a great event to watch. Non stop action for 2 1/2 days. Great riders and beautiful horses.

I was referring to no "female" heelers. All the heelers you show are male with the females being "headers". Both are "ropers", the steer needs to be roped by both horns and both rear legs and then stretched to a standstill before the time ends, its a timed event so speed as well as accuracy counts. Only one hind legs will cause a 5 second penalty to be added to the total time.

You are correct in that I did not see any female heelers. I would think that any of the woman I saw could have handled this position.
Do you know of a web site that would show the rules concerning this event?

Here is the WPRCA rule book (womens) download:

And here is the PRCA version:

Just look for the rule book download link on each page, they are PDF format downloads, and a bit large.
The event you photographed may have been some sort of regional "couples" competition from what you are telling me here, likely not a sanctioned event.
