[QUOTE="Luv4whippets, post: 665510, member: 10398"] Sounds like it's the regulars who get their panties in a bunch. Just because a "newbie" asks a question does not mean they need to be talked down to like they are stupid. I am looking for YOUR experience because this is MY first experience with a calf. I work for small animal and equine vets, we do very few other large animals. As I stated in my thread I appreciate everyones advice and experience. I do not think it is fair of you to bash on me, I am only trying to do right by my animal. The reasoning (because someone thought I should be PM'd to find out) behind me wanting to cut my animal vs. banding is because I keep hearing horror stories about banding (scrotum fills up, one testicle is missed, infection, etc.) I figured it would just be quicker to get them out and not have to worry about those things. But as mentioned someone else's method is always better, so I guess the ONLY way is to band. And my original post was not meant to be offensive to anyone. I justed wanted the person who said "you better know what you're doing" to know that I was confident in my abilities. Addressing the trying to help someone else comment......I guess I didn't realize that only certain members were allowed to help. Thanks for the warm welcome! [/QUOTE]
