[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1339732, member: 24816"] There will be lots of opinions about this. I used to raise dairy calves too, I usually waited at least 2 weeks maybe a month before working them, just to make sure they were healthy and strong enough after being through the stress of being moved to a new environment. I have used them on calves up to maybe 3-4 months old depending on the individual. There are other banders that can work for mature bulls. I have one of the old style eze bloodless castrators that uses tubing, I don't like to band much over 400 lbs. Tetanus vaccines are important, admittedly though a lot of times I haven't vaccinated small calves when using the little green bands. [/QUOTE]
