[QUOTE="jwhisperj, post: 516821, member: 7444"] Pauline. I am by no means experienced in this but we banded our bull calf who is a bottle baby. I was very nervous that he would kick and fight and would become terribly uncomfortable afterwards going off feed and such, especially because he was 2 1/2 months old. Our little guy didn't even know we put it on! He never even flinched. I think that most peoples calves put up a fight more out of fear and not alot of handling because the calves have moms, so they don't get messed with as much as bottle calves, not because it actually hurts. He never got sick, or noticeably uncomfortable. Just my experience. I know you are more seasoned than me but good luck! [/QUOTE]
