[QUOTE="DavisBeefmasters, post: 387355, member: 2263"] What most have said... 1) No worries -- you can band at day 1, or when you vaccinate, etc. 2) Ear tagging -- properly restrain the head and you're fine... we tag the right ear for bull calves, left ear for heifers (for ease of identification on future sorting) 3) Calf tilt table definitely not required but when you have a lot to do is helpful... look up "flanking a calf" or if they're young enough you can "squeeze" them between a gate and panel or the like We tag and give a few shots the 1st day on the ground and do this out in the pasture with very little difficulty -- done in under a minute. Like I said - no worries, get some assistance on the first few so you know what to look for, what to feel for, etc. and you'll do just fine. [/QUOTE]
