[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 516425, member: 7956"] The bull calves that I band, I generally wait at least 12-24 hours before I mess with the calf. Simply to allow bonding between mother and calf and not disturb anything. Usually, I will wait until the next day, then tag, weigh, and band if necessary. I have experienced it a few times where the calf's little guys haven't dropped down into the scrotum the first 24 hours or so. Sometimes have to wait a couple days on these calves. Follow prior good advice to insure you have both little guys in the sac. Check before putting the band on, and then check after the elastrator is taken off. [/QUOTE]
