[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1811257, member: 42820"] I have never banded until about a month ago. I banded my first bull calf at 4 months. I gave a tetanus anti toxin as suggested. In 3 weeks or day before , all had fell off. He is fine now. Since then I have done another that was about to 2 months old. This was 5 days ago. He still looks fine health wise. My problem came with a calf about 5 days old. I started to band but didn’t because his testicles hadn’t dropped down. I tried to find them but wasn’t sure of myself so I elected to wait a month. I hear some of you saying you banded within a day or two of birth. I need more schooling on what or how to do this on a newborn. The one I tried and didn’t has testicles I think they was just inside him I guess and they where small as peas. Should I have pulled down and banded anyway??? I didn’t want to do something I would regret. When you get through laughing help me figure out what I should have done. I want to band all mind and tag before they are a week old. Thanks [/QUOTE]
