Seems like everything got away from me this summer. I never got Porter banded when he was still small so that left me with either buying a different bander or castrating him. I didn’t want to cut him because it has been so wet and mucky and I didn’t want to risk infection. Banding is just so much cleaner and I don’t have to worry about flies or muck causing any problems.

If I can’t find what I need locally I can usually find it on Livestock Concepts website. The had the Tri-Bander Castrator and it was reasonably priced so I figured I would give it a shot. I was very pleased with how easy it was to operate. I may never use the old bander again.
