[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1756617, member: 42463"] I doubt you disagree if we are talking about the calves being discussed... We aren't talking about newborns, but already weaned calves. And I'd agree, the earlier the better. As to method? Older calves can be done safely by cutting an crimping. I've banded bigger calves but it get to the point where it's pretty iffy. I'd use a crimper mainly for the "set back" mentioned, but cutting is perfectly acceptable. If we disagree I don't see where. Just general preferences. [/QUOTE]
