[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1294053, member: 22236"] I've flipflopped between the two mentally lately. I've only cut them personally but they get sluggish a day or two, sometimes more if they take it pretty hard. Luckily I haven't lost one yet. Doc banded two older calves for me when he was down here. No problems what so ever. Didn't split the bag when he did it. Couldn't tell they were off any really. I don't like the idea of cutting or banding when they hit the ground, without some kind of tetanus pre-vac what so ever. Doc said he had some reactions to Covexin 8 before on small calves (when I was asking about how young I could start my first round of shots). I gave the two month old calves their first round the day before Thanksgiving, and will come back and cut and 2nd round along about Christmas. I had two about three weeks behind the older calves that I let go and will give first rounds around Christmas, etc. No problems so far. I was trying to get them done a little bit younger. I know its harder on them the older, but I want to at least get the second round in them the day of. [/QUOTE]
