[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1811388, member: 8202"] I think my problem was we couldn't get the green cheerio bands. All they had were the Tri-Bander bands, which look like this. [URL]https://www.leedstone.com/p/tri-bander-rings/[/URL] We have a pack of green cheerios, but they're really old (15 years, probably), and I didn't want to use them, so I put "new calf bands" on the shopping list and these are what hubby could find at the farm store. They didn't have the green ones. They seem WAY thicker than the little green bands, but they say they're for calves. When I released the handles is when the calf went straight up to heaven, I had no chance to work the band off the fingers of the tool. Until later. ;) Live and learn. (Hubs is gonna use the old green cheerios as rubber sealers under sheet metal screws, to prevent leaks, when he fixes the chicken coop.) [/QUOTE]
