[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 467152, member: 5478"] Band them. We do it at branding when they are a couple months old but you can do it at birth. Just make sure you have both nuts which can be a challenge getting them in there when the calves get too big. If they are too big to band and you want them cut then you should take them to the vet in my opinion. Or just sell them as they are. We have had some "slip by" the roundup or were born after branding that we sold as bulls (not for breeding purposes, just beef) and didn't take a price hit. But that's here, could be different where you are. Perhaps you could call an auction yard and see how much of a hit you will take by selling them uncut. When you figure in your time and effort and vet cost to have them cut, it's probably going to be a wash. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
