[QUOTE="Dave, post: 869980, member: 498"] I will give you another of the 100 opinions. I have cut and banded in the past. What I do now and prefer to do is cut when I work calves for vaccinations and branding. I do this all at one time. The big ones will be close to 300 pounds. The small ones will be a couple weeks old. It doesn't appear to slow them at all. I have banded at that size and it works good too. One advantage to banding at an older age it is a lot more obvious when you only have one nut. The number one complaint of buyers about banded calves is the missed nuts. And if you have ever had to castrate a calf who has had his sack banded off with one or both nuts left in him you would understand this. [/QUOTE]
