[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1220087, member: 17986"] A cut steer is healed by the time the scrotum falls off a banded calf. My grandfather always banded. He said it was more humane. It may be more comforting for the human doing the deed but is not any better for the calf. The little guy is walking around with his junk rotting off. I have helped treat a maggot infested banded scrotum. Nasty. I tend to use the big bander on calves much over 600 lb. if we are asked to help someone working their calves. That can be one stinking mess after a couple of weeks. Will only big band during the winter months now. [/QUOTE]
