oj; I also come from a horse and cattle farm. Banding is castrating, we use to band our calves if we were able to get them off the hills and into the shoots at a young age. If we missed one do to late birth we had to castrate with a knife, now that's painful and if not done at the proper time of year you risk infection. Banding if done properly and at a young age is painless, clean and easy. You just slip a band over both testicles release and your done, in a matter of months the testicle drop off and your all done. You've made an it. Sandy
