[QUOTE="expensive hobby, post: 885773, member: 17104"] I use to band bulls at birth but leaning more toward leaving them intact and banding later. Pro of banding at birth is the calves are easy to work with.....con is no testosterone for growth. Banding 500lb bulls seems like it will be a bit more work to run them to a head gate, have someone sit on their back while lifting the tail as you tighten the band. Cutting is probably the best but for me I do not have the confidence to start hacking on a bulls nuts. If you do not know what you are doing you can cause more harm than good. Either way you need to watch for infection and mind the flies. [/QUOTE]
