[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1745752, member: 8993"] I have told this before but I was in a meeting and the lead vet for Virginia Tech was ask if and when he implanted his own calves. He said he usually let them get all the way out, band and implanted while the cow was licking the calf. I'm not as good as him but I do implant young, again at around 3 months or for spring calves around July 4th. Then if I am going to wean and background them I will do it again at weaning. Calves I buy I implant at castration which is the same day normally. Some may weigh 300, some 600. Ralgro will last about 90 days so for maximum effect implanting them every 90 days seems to work for me. [/QUOTE]
