[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16950"] you know.... a person can do things a certain way for many years and not know that it may not be the best way... this is interesting to me because if have seen many 300# calves cut without problems, but did have a problem with one this year.. he did bleed internally.... i posted questions about it somewhere around may. he finally got over it... but it was quite an ordeal. would like to know the thoughts of some of you on this board... what is the largest calf that you would cut? thanks gene > I band all my bull calves at 1 or > 2 days old if I can catch them and > the moma isn't to ornery.
