[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 188434, member: 2308"] We used to cut our bull calves at branding time when they were 1 week - 2 months old. However, after losing one to a serious infection, we changed our methods. I much prefer to band them when they are newborns. Hubby would rather use the knife, but after that loss, we decided to use bands. I do them all myself, when we weigh, tag and dehorn paste them. Just throw them on their side, kneel over/on them facing the rear and pull their back leg forward and slide the band on and make sure you can feel 2!! Takes about a minute and they're done. [/QUOTE]
