At 1 pm Donna came over to band the calf for me. Unlike the previous evening when the calf would only stand, and would not lay down, today he would lay. So I could get on top of him to hold him down while Donna put the band on him. But the calf was in the corner of the loafing shed and we didn't have much room to move around. So Donna had trouble getting both of the calf's balls in place and then the band on the calf.
I then had to move the calf out a little bit and try to get the calf more on it's back and not just laying on its side. Finally we got the job done. Putting the ear tag on the calf was much easier.
In the photos it may appear the calf is normal to small sized, but Donna agrees the calf is a big calf. It appears Haynes the bull is throwing large calves.
