[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 93547, member: 1049"] Hi Rookie, We are now double banding them before they are 36 hours old. Every year we have a few rubber bands that break and then we have a steer/bull making the cows, heifers-and us-- crazy, so now we are trying a simple new method. It will save us the co$t of a vet coming to castrate, steer weight loss, stress and alot of other typical hormonal conflicts that are associated with "equipment failure." Not to mention that private buyers that come to the farm to BUY steers never chose the half steer to buy--even though he is always the largest. One extra 4cent rubber band will make a mountain of difference. So far, so good. [/QUOTE]
