[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 18779, member: 39"] We like to band when they’re little because it’s so much easier. If you’re going to wait till 400-500#s, a regular elastrator type bander won’t always be big enough. You’ll need to use a big bander, a burdizzo, or a knife. Now and then, for whatever reason, we need to work a bigger calf. Personally, I don’t like the burdizzo. The tool called EZE is pretty easy to use. Kalkitrate (sp?) also makes a tool for big calves but I haven’t ever tried it. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
