[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 129811, member: 637"] RC, BC is right on! The Callicrate Smart Bander is what it is called. You can band a little bitty bull or a great big one. They act like they can't feel it most of the time. They just walk out of the chute, and start eating. Later on, their bag dries up and looks like a piece of leather hanging. Sometimes they smell funny after several days, :shock: but the main thing is that you don't have to worry about them bleeding to death, getting an infection, and going off the feed and losing weight. It is the only way to do it as far as I am concerned. It is a little pricey, but it makes up for it in not having to doctor a calf or losing weight. Shop around and you might find one cheaper somewhere else. Or ask Santa for one. Here it is in the Jeffers catalog.
