[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1080699, member: 5612"] The tri-band bander is great for steers up to about 3-4 months old. No clips, all one piece. That being said, premiums here start at about $50, and can go way up from there. A $50 minimum profit from a 25 cent investment? Not rocket science. Same can be said for implants. We used to vaccinate for tetanus. First the antitoxin. Then we downgraded to Cavalry 9. Now we don't bother. After hundreds I have yet to see one case. Stress? Honestly, I don't think there's a monetary difference between banding at birth and banding at 400 pounds. If anything, you might lose a little growth by doing it too early. [/QUOTE]
