[QUOTE="Wind and Sage, post: 1684104, member: 14693"] I raise bulls, so I don't band anything until after they are weaned in the fall, and usually later fall to winter by the time I get around to banding the ones I'm culling. I use the EZE T1 bander and bands. I got it from an outfit in Montana called Out West MFG. Here is their website [URL]http://www.castrator.com[/URL]. (Don't worry, I don't work for them, I'm just a bull raiser in Wyoming.) I have banded some that are up to 9 or 10 months old with this bander. (As a side note, I sell two year old bulls, so these are not your 1100 lb yearling bulls. Probably at that stage weighing around 700 to 750 lbs.) I don't know of other brands of banders, and generally was always opposed to them at a spring branding. I would always knife cut the spring calves, as it is easier and more reliable. That way you can count them and not worry about stags. One--Two. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
