[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1811325, member: 3162"] tcolvin, you get get a whole lot of advice on these forums. Some good and some you just need to sort thru. This site is pretty good. Kenny is spot on. I have banded a few thousand. I calved year round and tried to get them as close to birth as possible. It is easier that way for me. Bull calves were tagged with the same number as mom. Heifers got their own number. If someone drove thru the fence in the middle of the night I was always able to get everyone paired back up in a secure pasture. I have had maybe a half dozen that did not have two. You just have to wait. I had one that never dropped. He had to be cut and I went in after it. a couple of people were chiding me and accusing me of gutting him etc. It was nothing like that and not bad. I super glued the incision back. If I had to do over again, that would have just been one that didn't get banded. One out of way more than I could begin to count. Again, Kenny is spot on. [/QUOTE]
