[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 386329, member: 852"] 1) nope, not too late. I don't usually band until they're a month old. Large banders are made for calves up to 600lbs. 2) yep, it's not that hard; it was a little stressful for me the first few times I did it, but it's pretty routine now. Just follow the instructions. 3) You don't have or use a tilt-table. Don't even have to throw them down... I prefer not to put them down, because it's harder to get both testicles inside the band when gravity is working against you. FYI, make certain you count to two. I prefer to get them in a corner and band them while they're standing (make sure you don't get kicked). [/QUOTE]
