[QUOTE="flyingS, post: 703957, member: 13383"] It seems to me if you want the best value out of your calves and you want to sell at this time of year you need to band earlier. I have ranched all of my life and have seen calves banded and litterly thousands knife cut. I can tell you that I do not know a single buyer that wants to buy calves that are not completely heeled up. No one wants someone elses problems. That is why freshly banded or cut calves are discounted. If you cut the scrotum off below the band, anyone who sees the calves should be able to tell if they are not heeled up. Just my point of view. I would not sell anything until they are in reputable condition ( meaning healthy all the way around). [/QUOTE]
