[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 901750, member: 6713"] If that is all the hit you take why not just leave em intact. They have to be gaining more than enuf on the differential to make up for that. In today's market that's less than 3%. You also avoid even the slightest possibility of complications. FWIW my buddy and I banded every calf at birth for 5 years and if the genetics and milk were there they still grew like weeds. With those cows being Shortie or Shortie/GV believe me there was plenty of milk. So it really didnh't matter. In a tougher environment it might make a few lbs difference in your WW's [/QUOTE]
