It is our preference to wait until weaning or first frost at least before cutting. We gave up the whole banding at birth many years ago.
I would like to consider using the Burdizzo; my husband has doubts... he doesn't know why he has doubts, just that we have cut for years. I think it is a change thing :roll:
Does anyone have opinions on the Burdizzo use? Health concerns?
And, FYI - we usually finish out all of our own bull/steer calves.
I suppose on a rare occasion we may sell a few if we don't have the forages/grain to do all of them.
Thanks everyone!
Michele
