How we band larger bulls on the Ranch...Bloodless Calicrate bander technique

What happens here

Demonstrate the banding process using the mock testicle, "Fred." Once the band is positioned around the base of the mock testicle, operate the ratchet mechanism on the bander to tighten the band. Observe the tension indicator; once the large silver band meets the small silver band, the correct tension has been achieved. Then, push up on the cutter to sever both bands simultaneously. This simulates the complete castration process.

Goal: Practice and understand the full banding procedure using a mock testicle.
