Advantages of banding:

- it's bloodless

- it's pretty well painless if put on correctly

- best for young bull calves

- it's quick and easy to do

- cutting off blood supply enables both the testes and the sac to fall off

- less risk of infection

- some producers don't feel tetanus shot is required because no open wound is present

Disadvantages of banding:

- mistakes can happen: put the rubber ring too low, band only one testicle

- painful during the application, but the area goes numb very quickly

- tetanus shot may be required as there is risk of infection as the scrotum atrophies and sloughs off.
