[QUOTE="TexasCountryWoman, post: 35584, member: 425"] I still use the knife and have not gone to banding because of the possibility of gangrene from the anerobic situation. Has anyone had problems related to banding? It's hot here and heat and flies are a problem very early in the spring sometimes, so I worry about open wounds too and don't castrate late bull calves if it is 110 degrees and fly season. I feel the open wound of knive castration allows for drainage and no internal infection if done correctly. I have never lost or had a problem with any calf or goat or pig I have cut. I am hear to learn, so teach, don't prosecute. Thanks. I do see an Elastrator in the future though, everyone says I'm old fashioned. Okay, so I remember the Bristish Invasion! Not King George's.
