Letter From Back East: Ready's Calf

My mom likes to say, when we're preparing to go out, "Are you ready or are you Ready's calf?" When I ask her about the origin of the expression, she says she doesn't know, it was something her mother used to say. Her mother was born 130 years ago. Anybody know where this phrase came from?
