[QUOTE="JMHayes, post: 97478, member: 1680"] I've always castrated my calves, but recently I've heard people say that they've gone to banding them b/c it's easier and they can do it themselves with no one helping to hold the calf. It seems that it's more expensive to band and takes 21 to 23 days for them to drop instead of one or 2 weeks for the sac to heal. If I do band them should I implant the calves when I band him or wait untill they drop? [/QUOTE]
