So from what I'm reading, is it safe to say that the all around best time to band bull calves is about 3 months of age? Maybe that keeps the young calf sucking momma with no distractions or discomfort and also less stressful than banding or cutting at 600#. I've been making steers for a long time and I'm still trying to figure out the best way. I normally cut them at weaning (500#-650#) with few issues other than the occasional bleeder.
