[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1742996, member: 6291"] Out of all the articles I read there was no indication that one time was better than another. I strictly do it at that size for the ease and efficiency. Taking on the added costs of special calf equipment, man power, or being there daily all through calving season defeats the purpose of the added value of selling steers for us. We are already going to be working cattle and matching up calves at around that time so it was easier to do it then. In my experience, when those calves get larger testes that have dropped from their body it is way easier to band. They are not sucking them up and all that stuff. You can slide that xl tribander right up and you have plenty of room between the testes and the body. I can see how testicles get missed when its done at birth. Not much to work with. The bigger the better up until weaning, IMO. [/QUOTE]
