2 Humane banding method now available worldwide Callicrate Banders, recommended by veterinarians and animal handling specialists worldwide, are the most humane and effective castration tools on the market. Due to emphasis on high-tension ligation, the banders excel at achieving a tight band every time. Easy-to-read tension indicators ensure the correct tightness that is essential to minimizing discomfort and reducing physical complications. The bloodless (non-surgical) procedure reduces the risk of infection and the risk of injury to both the operator and the animal. The technique is both faster (taking only about 30 seconds) and safer to perform than surgically castrating animals. The band is stretched over the scrotum before being tightened and then locked firmly into position. Animals banded with Callicrate Banders rarely go off feed and show little discomfort. Bander castration works well on cattle, goats, alpacas and sheep, and any other species with a scrotum. Although the bander is mainly used for castration, it has many uses, including removing horns and treating prolapses. By using the Callicrate Bander for delayed castration, cattlemen can keep young bulls intact, allowing them to grow more quickly, and then castrate them late in the finishing stage. The obvious advantage to this is that the animals continue to grow much faster and develop better muscling due to the ongoing availability of natural testosterone. This provides an effective alternative to use of hormone growth promotants. Additionally, purebred operators have the option of waiting to see how their bull calves develop before deciding whether to leave them intact for use as bulls or sell them as feeder cattle. Thousands of the devices have sold worldwide since they were was first introduced nearly 25 years ago, with continual refinements leading to a lighter, sleeker and easier-to-use tool in the years since. Today s Callicrate PRO Bander, for delayed castration, features precision components. The fully encapsulated ratchet helps to protect the mechanism from the elements, expanding on the product line s existing reputation for resistance to grit, wear, and abrasion. The full line of Callicrate Banders includes the WEE Bander, a state-of-the-art high-tension nonsurgical castration tool specifically for smaller animals, such as newborn calves, sheep, and goats. The WEE performs far better than elastrator rings, which lack sufficient tension to block pain and, therefore, do not meet the public s heightened concern for humane animal treatment. By insuring proper application of the band, the Callicrate WEE Bander achieves the increasingly rigorous standard for animal care and wellbeing worldwide, while allowing for successful banding of smaller animals at younger ages.

Calves stay healthier and perform better! DAN FIELDS, KANSAS Best investment we ve made in a long time!

We often talk about the safety factor of using the bands on yearling bulls. No sharp blades, no kicking, no injuries (yet), no blood from either the bull or the man doing the job.

GEORGE CHAMBERS, GEORGIA MILLIONS OF BULLS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CALLICRATED SINCE 1991! I was skeptical about late castration not interrupting rate of gain on the calves.

You can t do that with surgical castration. Also, the bands do a great job removing even big old three inch diameter horns.

The calves tended to react more to the two injections that they received than the application of the bands.

I would say that this procedure was remarkably calm and low stress, both for the calves and the operators.

3 Calves stay healthier and perform better! DAN FIELDS, KANSAS Best investment we ve made in a long time! GARY ROBERTS, VIRGINIA I can t believe how easy it is, the cattle don t seem to mind at all! PEGGY OLSEN, OREGON Still love the bander. We often talk about the safety factor of using the bands on yearling bulls. No sharp blades, no kicking, no injuries (yet), no blood from either the bull or the man doing the job. With both of us on the top end of middle age, it is by far the best way for us to get the bulls worked. NANCY RICHEY, SOUTH DAKOTA 5,000 head later, not one problem! GEORGE CHAMBERS, GEORGIA MILLIONS OF BULLS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CALLICRATED SINCE 1991! I was skeptical about late castration not interrupting rate of gain on the calves. Since I weigh my animals every time they go through the chute, I checked that out the gains continued in the months following banding right on track. You can t do that with surgical castration. Also, the bands do a great job removing even big old three inch diameter horns. TOM REESE, CALIFORNIA There was surprisingly little reaction from the calves when the bands were applied. None of them kicked or even flinched that much or vocalized at all. The calves tended to react more to the two injections that they received than the application of the bands. After they were released from the chute, they showed pretty much normal behaviors. I would say that this procedure was remarkably calm and low stress, both for the calves and the operators. I have personally castrated hundreds of young bulls by knife method and can confidently say that applying the bands was markedly less painful based on their behaviors. I have been kicked more times than I want to recall doing knife castrations. Of course, there is no bleeding with the bander system and greatly reduced risk of infections and fly strike problems.

4 Achieving adequate tightness is the single most essential component in reduc ing stress during banding, according to animal welfare experts like Colorado State University animal science professor Temple Grandin. Previously, the only banding option available for the smaller animals was the green elastrator ring, says Mike Callicrate, owner of No-Bull Enterprises, based in St Francis, Kansas. We used the same simple technology, but combined it with a means of attaining proper tension, resulting in complete ligation. In replacing the elastrator rings, which lack sufficient tension and are considered the most stress ful method of castrating young animals, the WEE Bander also provides an alternative to castration with a knife, which is probably the second most stressful method you can use. Studies of high tension banding have demonstrated that the complete negation of blood flow triggers a natural analgesic effect that blocks pain while minimizing swelling and related complications. Research at the University of California-Davis showed high tension banding gen erated a more localized immune response with no discernable depression in appetite or rate of gain when used on young bulls. The stress of using an elastrator ring, which lacks sufficient tension to block pain, doesn t meet the public s heightened stan dards for humane animal treatment, Cal licrate says. By insuring proper application of the band, the WEE Bander measures up to the increasingly rigorous worldwide empha sis on animal care and well-being. Humane, high-tension WEE loops take the place of highly stressful elastrator rings. The WEE Loop when stretched provides an opening that is an approximate 1 ½ triangle. We bought our WEE Bander about 6 to 8 months ago and have been very happy with it. When we banded with the traditional green bands, the kids would go off feed for around 24 hours or longer slowing their daily rate of gains. With the WEE bander they might go off feed for a few hours, but are then back up eating and running around like nothing ever happened. The cost of the unit and cost of the bands are minimal due to not losing any of our daily rate of gains. - Joe Blevins, California It s still a little over a month before I start teaching docking and castration, both on the University Farm, and on farms of former students, to inform as many people as possible about this new outstanding tool.
