I'm new at this and was just wondering about how to cut calves? Slice the bag or cut a hole? Or what? Also what age or size should I do this to them?

thanks Rancher6, after hearing from y'all, banding is what going to do.Rancher6":ksunidoi said:Why don't you band them instead?
Thanks for the info. I am going to try this method. Mike BowenSusie David":2fk2dunq said:We use the four fingured spreader and the green cheerios.
Make sure that you've got both of them in the bottom of the sack when you release the bander...and leave a little sack with the calf...check when you work the calves for signs of infection...we haven't had any problems but we always make sure. No muss, no fuss, no blood and a happier calf.

Just make sure you have a pair of dykes.side cutters to clip the band if need be. After releasing the band from the tool, count tow in the sack. If not, cut the band off and start over.
