[QUOTE="jt, post: 703820, member: 238"] not looking for a vote. looking for someone who has experience it what i asked about. why band at this size? several reasons. on some i want to give them a chance to deternmine whether they will make a good bull. others are for other folks who ask me to. cutting at that size, especially when it is hot, really sets em back. they dont miss a beat when i band them. i did cut several 4 wt calves at the time i banded bigger ones and wished i had banded the 4 wt ones too. it was really tough on them with the heat. i have had them fall off in 2-3 weeks, but usually it takes 4-6. a guy i banded some for about 2-3 weeks ago wants to sell them now and that is what prompted this question. they were anywhere from 5-8 wt bulls. didnt set em back any. i have banded em at about 1000 #s with no problems. i did cut the sac off of one of my calves earlier in the year. cut it about 1 inch below the band and left the band for about another week and then took it off. just wanted to make sure. was just wanting to find out on here how others with more experience did this, so that is why i asked. lol, it goes without saying i figured, but, yes, you cut below the band, and yes give tetnanas shots (2) i band on the booster shot. thanks jt [/QUOTE]
