Had a new born bull calf yesterday morning when i got home from work. I decided to go ahead and band him since i could easily get my hands on him. I gave tentanus shots and banded, also tagged him too. I must say doing it early like that makes it a piece of cake. In the past weve done it around 1-3 months or so and it is much more difficult. My question is do most of yall band that early? Are there any negatives to doing it that way? I know the arguement about leaving intact and they gain better and all that and thats not what im asking, im asking more so from a animal health standpoint. Also what about cutting out at this age? It seems fairly easy and seems to run less chance of complications from what ive researched. Whats yalls thoughts?
