[QUOTE="machslammer, post: 1043600, member: 20421"] We had one calf do this, this year. Started swelling, then started to Rot and you could smell that thing a ways off. Yuck!. We got him up and the little green band had broken after part of it started to die. We attempted to cut with no success because he was pouring the blood at that point. Sutured him up to stop bleeding. He weighed about 450-500 lbs. We borrowed a neighbors callifornia(sp?) ratchet style bander with the large bands, put it up above where the good skin stopped, ratched that sucker down, and in 4 days the whole ball of stuff fell off and he was as slick as a ribbon. Anyone on here use the regular California style hand grab and wrap style band? Does it get tight enough to cut off the circulation to the sac? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
