[QUOTE="Col Reb, post: 1619657, member: 22810"] I used a calicrate bander for the first time this year. It was easy enough. My yearling bulls weighed from 400-550 lbs. it’s been 4 weeks & they haven’t dropped yet. All should drop next week so allow 4-6 weeks. Not sure how the instructions came up with 2 weeks. Maybe some 250 pounders. Not sure if I’ll use it this spring due to concern of worms & flies. After I had done a couple it probably didn’t take but a couple of minutes to band them. Bander & bands are kind of expensive but cheaper than $50 each for the vet to do it. Up until this year I sold my yearlings as bulls. Great opportunity to wean, worm & vaccinate them. I go ahead & ear tag them. I’d like to think that tag will be worth $20 each when I sell them. We’ll see.... [/QUOTE]
