[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1683542, member: 24816"] A while back we banded some calves, some were too large for the little green bands, so used the tri bander on a couple. I didn't make note of how long it took to fall off, but did have two that had been bottle calves and one was banded with the green and on with the tri bander. They were being kept in a lot so they could have access to feed, so I saw them more to notice the progression. The one done with the tri band came off around a week before the one with the green band. We also used the larger XL bander for a calf around 400 lbs. We had debated leaving him a bull, as the plan is to feed him out to process this fall, but decided to go on and band him in case we run the calves for beef with any heifers until ready to pen them to feed out. He was quite developed and the banding process has progressed as fast as the smaller calves it seems. [/QUOTE]
