[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 827803, member: 9096"] yep, I did use a lot of hydrogen peroxide as well I've never had a problem with the bands breaking.. and from what I can tell, the calves aren't that uncomfortable with it, though I avoid banding calves that are already weak... the biggest problem is missing 1 testicle, and my dad had lots of them, so far I've been lucky. I'm also finding that I can band a lot of them while they're laying down (assuming they don't get up when I come around to begin with). If you have problem with bands breaking, maybe you could put 2 of them on there... for the discomfort, I found the biggest factor is not putting the band too high or too low as the biggest factor.. Once I tag them they usually forget what I did at the hind end anyhow :P [/QUOTE]
