XL Bull Tri Bander Rings Bands 30 pcs

Product Information

PHOTO 1: Advocates for banding say the process creates less stress and pain for a calf than cut-castration.

We can handle them better when they are bigger and can fit into a chute,” Nancy Richey says. “That’s generally when we band them.” Banding keeps me from having to create an open wound for those calves to try to heal up and deal with,” Bedke says. “It’s just a lot easier, and it also speeds up the branding process.” The product is refined to remove most of the nonspecific components and concentrated to provide a low dose effective immunizing agent. The later you wait in life, the more stress your cattle will have to experience. S&J XL bander is a fantastic solution to make their delayed castration less painful. This large bander for cattle can handle various kinds of animals ranging from 250 to 750lbs, from sheep, goats, cows, pigs, and so on.

Older and larger calves aren’t recommended for use with the ‘elastrator’. Instead, specialized large cattle banders are used, such as EZE and Callicrate castrators. They employ tougher latex bands in place of rubber rings. Hormonal castration – also called immuno-castration – involves the injection of immuno-contraceptive compounds. This Zikimed bander for bulls is simple, efficient, and easy to use, saving a lot of time and effort for you. The ergonomic handle can fit nearly anybody. The Smart Bander is a more affordable option for those who love the Pro Bander but have a limited budget. This bander is much cheaper and comes with a Callicrate cutter, 5 loops, and a compact carrying case. Which is in itself hilarious to me… but has new meaning now that Deadpool has a band around his scrotum.

Jim and Nancy Richey, an older couple who operate a cattle ranch in South Dakota, wait for the calves to get a little older before they castrate them.

We have banded 3 calves on our farm…. ourselves… without shots, without headgates, without cattle chutes, without vets. All by ourselves in fields with nothing but a few kids as farm hands. What is Banding? Immuno-castration has been shown to be superior to surgical castration in many ways. It increases live weight as well as hot carcass weight. Daily gain is also improved, as well as dressing percentage. Along with banding, there are several other effective methods of castration that may better suit your bull calf if it is too difficult to band him or if he is too old or heavy to safely band. Banding With the Burdizzo method, instead of squeezing tightly against the scrotum to cut off blood flow, the clamp crushes the blood vessels. Circulation stops once the vessels are crushed, eventually killing the testicles. Active Ingredient(s): Prepared by detoxifying tetanus toxin with a formaldehyde solution and moderate heat in such a manner that the antigenic properties remain intact.
