[QUOTE="jt, post: 678302, member: 238"] i have one and i love it. super easy to use once you get the hang of it. mine came with a video to show you what to do. i use it only on the larger calves, say 450 and up. you can cut em, but the band does not set em back any. cutting even small calves when it is as hot as it is right now in the south is really hard on em. i did something last week that i suppose i have not ever done at this time of the year. i cut about 6 calves in the 2-300 weight range, and banded one that was 500. 2 of those cut had a hard time and one of them was the smallest, at about 200. the one i banded never missed a beat. i will not cut any more this time of the year again. those i band are put in the chute and i come in from the side and reach in behind them and band them. i usually have someone hold their tail, but didnt this last time on that one. i never get in the chute behind them to cut or band. good luck jt [/QUOTE]
