[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1742940, member: 9933"] The green cheerios work fine on a calf under 200 pounds and it was only 99 cents per 100 bands at our local farm store last time I bought some. I have never had an issue getting them on most calves, although there is some wiggling required to pull the more well endowed ones through the ring. It can usually be accomplished in under 10 seconds, except for those few individuals that seem to hide a testicle way up high in their abdomen. I have done enough over the years, that I can usually fish even those out in less than a minute. I have observed very little discomfort when calves are banded at an early age using the cheerios. I think the Tribander would be a good choice if you are not banding them until they are already 300 pounds, but if you are doing it in the first month or two, it probably is unnecessary. Those bands and the tool are both considerably more expensive. They wanted over $38 for 100 bands when I did a search online. [/QUOTE]
