[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1469569, member: 22072"] We do it when our cows are finished calving over the 3 months of calving season...So we'll band babies up to 3+ months...We always give tetanus vaccine and any age does well... This year was the first year we implanted since the 90s... It was a very good grass year, so its hard to tell it the implants made them grow good or the belly deep grass all summer.. One herd averaged 651 with all the ages mixed...other herds were more like 550 Next year I might experiment with zip ties....someone posted a zip tie with a surgical tube on it for castrating. They were very expensive but looked easy to make.. That would sure be easy..... [/QUOTE]
