[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1469671, member: 12520"] We band them as soon as they are dry enough to get a grip on. Used to knife cut at birth too. Always felt it was a lot less stress on them to do it then. I only switched to bands because at a day or two of age they need to walk about half a mile from the calving area to where we feed the pairs and it seemed to me that the knife cut steers were harder to get to make the walk. I still don't like the look of a banded calf. [/QUOTE]
