[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1714839, member: 14585"] Banding bulls over 500 lbs carries a higher risk of tetanus than cutting, I would cut him before banding him. Banding a 600 lb bull with an abnormal testicle could result in a drainage/healing issue if banded and another reason to cut rather than band. A. Take him to the sale barn asap and sell him as a bull as is. B. Cut him, but odds are the 2nd nut is trapped up in the abdominal cavity and still won't come down. I've been lucky enough to be able to gently help it to descend and cut both... but in my case it was just dumb luck. If you remove just one nut and leave an undescended testicle he will still develop secondary male sex traits and be a stag. Stags sell for about a 30% dock. Sell him before he turns staggy. [/QUOTE]
