Callicrate Pro Bander w/Cutter

This is THE BEST BANDER EVER!!!! Someone who really put in effort and thoughts in building something that actually works and works great!! We almost tempted to just use this to band our newborn calf too(but he got away so we never got to try it…) the Bander itself is so high quality, heavy very not too heavy. The bands are super high elastic and durable. The box had all the instructions and some QnAs that answered and educated a lot of our questions. The product itself was very well packed in a very nice box. And it even came with a hat. Loved it! So far the bands are still tight on our bulls(it’s been a week) it says it will take about three weeks for the balls to fall so we shall see!!

Worked as I hoped it would. Didn't think banding could be so quick and easy! I was concerned about the cost, then considered what it would be to have the vet out every year to band a couple bucklings.

Can’t say enough good things about this product. Super easy to use and incredibly effective. Thank you

Es un producto novedoso, útil pero recomiendo pedir la opinión de un veterinario antes de comprarlo. Depende el uso del tipo de hacienda, el clima, y la época del año en la que se utilice.

A bit of a learning curve, but worked perfectly for dehorning our 19 month heifer with full grown horns. The horns came off around 60 days like it said it would with little blood and very little discomfort for the cow. She’s healing over very well. Definitely better than having to saw off the horns and traumatize our already skittish cow.

NO COMPREN EL PRODUCTO SI PIENSAN QUE SERÁ SIN SANGRADO Y SIN NECESIDAD DE USAR MEDICAMENTOS !! ES PEOR QUE UNA CASTRACION CON BISTURÍ !!! Mala experiencia !

This style is much more user friendly and is faster to use. The hair on the calf's legs doesn't get caught in the ratchet as easily as the old style. The built in cutter is the best! No more fumbling around for the tag cutter. There is only one flaw. If the calf jumps too much there is a chance the cutter bar can get hit, causing it to cut the band too early. We like to band our calves in the fall when the steers are about 600 lbs.

A lot of the bands break before they tension properly. Used while the cattle‘s heads were in a head hold in the squeeze shoot for dehorning. cattle will scratch their head on a tree and rub the bands off before they work. Good About 50% of the cows and their horns fell off. Of the 50% 50% of that only one horn fell off. So I’ve got a bunch of cattle running around with one horn. If you’re using this on castrating, good luck not getting kicked the time it takes to properly crank the tension takes too long.
