[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1829181, member: 22295"] I will post an update also. Due to the extreme heat we had and some other circumstances we didn’t work the last of our calves till Sept when the twmemps dropped some. On the last group the vet done he used the tool you put in a drill and twist them off. They swelled up big and laid around 4-5 days. He had banded all the previous calves. The calves didn’t get up when I fed cake the next day. I got them all up. I had 2 small groups left. I used the Callicrate bander on them and they never missed a beat. The next day when I fed they came and ate with the cows. Had heard about the tool but had never seen it used until then. Only one bled a little. I would hesitate to judge it one one group of 12. But my first impression is I prefer the Callicrate bands. Those they use the California bander on seem to.get a little messier. The Callicrate dry up and fall off. You get the same tension on every band. [/QUOTE]
