[QUOTE="Tbrake, post: 1646098, member: 22322"] Not saying this is the right way or the only way just how I do it. I band several hundred every year the day they are born with the little green bands. Have done thousands this way and never had an issue. I store the extra bands in the fridge. Only get what I need out for a couple of days at a time. Don’t waste your time or vaccine giving them a shot when they are newborns. Doesn’t do a thing. Every year I have 10-15 that I couldn’t get both nuts down, so I mark them and knife cut them at 60 day vaccination. Seems I always have a couple slip past me again. I keep some of the zip banders on hand and do them at weaning. I’ve had good luck with them for the last 3 years. Calves have had 2 rounds of 7 way by this time, but I go ahead and give a shot of pTAT at Banding [/QUOTE]
