“We have found that your bander has been a fantastic addition to our calf weaning and preconditioning program. It is simple, effective, and cost effective. Thanks again for your fantastic customer service.” – Carson Ribble, Ribble Land & Cattle Company, Hudson CO

“Two of my 16-month-old former bulls, now steers, hate the invention.  Love the Callicrate Bander! – Rick Waechter, Collingwood, Ontario “We, also find, bulls castrated at 12-16 months using the Callicrate Bander are 50-80 lbs heavier hanging weight than the ones pinched at birth.

“Always happy to see how the calves handle the band so much easier than a knife cut.  Once turned out they don’t kick, don’t stop eating, and don’t seem to hardly notice it at all.”

“With the enhanced performance from bull calves left intact, he doesn’t need to use growth implants, which means his cattle qualify for natural beef programs. “If I’m doing delayed castration, I don’t need to use hormones, and I definitely don’t want to implant my heifers because I retain the top end of them or sell them to someone else as replacements.”
Tom Hendrix

Rancher from Wray, Colorado

“We have the Callicrate Bander and love using it on our cattle.  I can’t believe how easy it is and the cattle don’t seem to mind it at all.  I am a firm believer.  I’m still singing the praises of the Callicrate Bander.”
Peggy

Grants Pass, Oregon

“We usually try to get the calves started on feed and then I band them and it doesn’t slow them up a bit.  I leave my bull calves intact to about 600 pounds, which means they stay healthier and perform better.”
Dan Fields

Kansas

“The bottom line is that high-tension banding is faster, easier and less traumatic for the animal than surgical castration.”
