[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 127713, member: 430"] I cut them anywhere from a week old to a few months old. Just whenever I catch them. I find it easier on me and the calf to just cut them and get it over with. I banded one ONCE and will never do that again. The whole process took a couple of weeks. I get the guys to hold the calf down and pull the sack and cut about 1/2 to 3/4 off. Pull out the testicles one at a time - no cutting - just pull hard until they come out cord and all. If there is any fat hanging out the sack I will cut that off. Spray with screw worm spray, implant, and let them go. Every single one has jumped right up and ran to momma, some start nursing immediately. I've never had one get infected either (Knock on wood) Always remember to have a good sharp knife though and try to get it done early in the morning as you can, never in the heat of the day or if you've been running them let them settle down for a while first.
