[QUOTE="Schrute, post: 386293, member: 6491"] My family started a small catlle farm about 3 yrs ago... we just recently had our first bull calves and I have a few questions for you experienced folks. - Band castration; everything I've read said you need to do this in the first 10 days... but we have 1 bull calf that's approx. 3 weeks old, is it too late to use a band? - Ear Tagging; are there any tricks of the trade in doing this or is it as simple as the instructions make it look? - Calf table (tilt table); we don't currently have a tilt table, what's the best method for holding (man-handling) a calf down for castration? Or, do I HAVE to have a tilt table? Thank you in advance for your time... [/QUOTE]
