i use a california bander on larger bull calves, mostly in the 6-8 weight range. when i band, i cut a slit in the sac, if i dont forget.
i have heard of folks cutting off the sac after banding.
my questions are,
how long after banding do you cut the sac off? if i remember correctly, i think i had heard at about 2 weeks, but am not sure.
do you cut it off just below the band and leave the band or at the band and take it off?
what is the risk of having one of the steers open up and have a problem?
thanks
