[QUOTE="ENNOT, post: 239852, member: 3562"] I wouldn't say that you will never get just one. Had a guy helping us this winter that wasn't sure what he was feeling. The first couple times I had him helping, I would check and had to cut the band off with sidecutters and do it for him. From then on I did it. We used to cut everything, but have tried banding everything, except the registerable calves, this year and it wasn't too bad. We have also cut then at birth, but I heard that can give them water belly when they get older so we quit that. Plus it got cold to have warm fluid on your hands when the cold, winter wind is blowing. We'll probably continue to band all the commercial calves and wait until branding for the registered calves.
