[QUOTE="C-Ranch, post: 1670047, member: 24325"] For years we implanted all calves at branding. It wasn't until we could not get the implants one year so we branded and fully expected smaller calves at weaning. However the opposite occured. Calves averaged the same as the previous years with implants. The flowing year we did as @murraymutts suggested and only implanted half the calves to see if we had experienced a fluke the previous year. Well fast-forward to today and I'll just say we no longer implant. Good feed and vaccination/mineral program and calves will do fine on their own without the extra cost of implants. Just my honest opinion I'm sure others will disagree. [/QUOTE]
