[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 826470, member: 9"] We've ALWAYS used the XL Bander to band. NEVER had any complications. The calves very rarely notice that we're messing with their marbles. Afterwards, give a Tetanus Antitoxin injection. Yes, banding costs a few cents...so what! Of course a knife only needs re-sharpening and just "keeps going and going"...lol. IMO to "cut" is to open the door to infection as well as messy and tends to stress the animal...and occasionally stress the "cutter". [/QUOTE]
