As soon as the elastic was on that little guy turned his back on us. My wife really took it hard as he didn't want any part of us any more. The banishment lasted around a week and the experience with him was a great one all the way.

I purchased my banding tool this spring and the calves were born in late June and early July. So far all I have done is stand there at the fence, with it in hand, wondering if I can do it. I just have to get up the gumption to go out there and tackle one of the little guys! Our two cows gave us two bull calves this year.
