Goats ? who has them?

Is banding something that anyone can do? What age does it need to be done? How long should it take? Please fill me in on anything I have missed.

Thanks for any help

id say tou band a goat the same as a calf my buddy has cattle we try and band a bull calf no later than the 2nd day when you band it just cut the blood flow off it takes a few week for them to dry up and fall off

I have banded calves that were 4 to 5 hundred pounds... once its on don't worry about it they will fall when they get ready

I've banded calves, goats, and dogs with very good success. Just make sure you use castrating bands, they are big and thick so they close off the blood supply but not cut in.

goats and calves just dry up and fall off, dogs look messy but heal up quick and are fine.

Can castrating bands be bought at any farm supply type store?
