[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1677114, member: 38595"] About a month back I banded a handful of 600 pound calves. Had fist sized nuts. I used a California bander. Used vice grips on the tubing and got a hard pull on them. They were very tight. So far so good...until today. Found one that had dropped the band and sack. But there is a cord hanging about 4 or 6 inches. I assume its the testicle's cord. Hes acting hurt. Called vet, he said I could put a band on the cord and give a shot of penicillin.. Ive just read on the web that it should dry up. That said, im about to get it up and throw a band on the cord. Any input is welcomed and encouraged. Don't know if I did it wrong or what. Ive not banded many calves. Think ill have the vet out to cut our calves this year. or get them up earlier and use a tri bander. [/QUOTE]
