[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1729478, member: 968"] If they have gotten too big for the little green cheerio bands, we cut them. ALL research says banding is much less stressful on them AS NEWBORNS. Bigger calves is much less stress to CUT them out. The stress follows them clear into the feedlot performance - according to research. Can't put my fingers on the research, but here is a quote: "Another study on bull calves using all three methods at age seven weeks old, found castration by banding caused more pain both immediately after castration and for up to 7 weeks afterwards when compared to cutting or clamping."
