[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 54526, member: 97"] I was talking with the owner of one of the local feedlots the other day-- He was saying that they have gone completely to banding.... They buy a lot of calves in the fall that are still bulls- 500-700 lbers-- they did some testing by taking large groups and cutting half of them and banding half of them-- they found they had a higher infection and death loss with the knife cutting than with the banding- also the banded cattle gained better--- They are sold on band and give a tetanus shot....
