[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 258817, member: 2905"] VAStocker My stocker recieving/ conditioning program last for 4 weeks. Upon arrival we vaccinate, tag & worm but do not castrate or dehorn. At the end of 4 weeks we have a "graduation" ceremony where the bulls get banded & horns are removed. It seems to me we have less sickness during this time since we started delaying banding & dehorning. Since we have started this, we have not had to treat any animal for BRD after banding or dehorning. Calves that have been sick are not graduated until they have been well for at least 10 days. Just my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
