[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1742975, member: 968"] I totally agree with using the cheerios under 250#. We generally band within 24 hours. I also like to let mom clean them up & they get dry and nursed before we tag, weigh, SE & ADE shots, iodine naval and castrate. If a bull that we leave a bull does not meet our expectations - temperament, growth, looks - and we make that decision after they are 250#, we cut. Banding is soooo easy. Calf never looks back. Who cares if it may take a week longer?? As long as the calf isn't uncomfortable. The only thing I might worry about putting 2 cheerios (or any bands) is moisture between the two bands. In my mind, that might make tetanus more of a potential problem?? I'm asking more than stating a fact. [/QUOTE]
