[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1117742, member: 22072"] Whatever works, not here to change anyone. But another advantage to the way we do it other than they grow bigger, is it only takes one person. When we use to cut, you do have to catch the calves when they are small and it took 3 people and i was always the leg holder. Watching the guys cut into a calf on the ground with the same knife over and over and pulling those testicles out one two and grabbing the nerve and yanking on it was way too much for me to stomach. I watched the calves drag for days. Its brutal having someone throw you down and put a knee into your young neck. I'm sure no one here causes any pain when they castrate by cutting, but i've seen enough cowboys cut a calf to know its not the norm for it to be less stressful than banding. But thats just me....
