Dr. Temple Grandin, one of the nation's leading experts on humane animal handling, says, "banding is better than cutting for the bigger animals" and "the tightness of the band is essential to minimizing discomfort." The tension indicator on The Callicrate Bander™ assures proper tension.
In addition to castration, the Callicrate Smart Bander™ has been used to dock tails, remove horns and antlers, repair prolapses, and shut off blood supply (for operations). Though marketed primarily to cattle producers, it has been used by sheep and goat producers for many of the same purposes. It is suitable for livestock of any size.
