Ha! "Used to." I assume you're talking about the big snippy pliers looking thing? My grandfather used one of those until he passed just last year at the age of 96.
Yeah, my grandfather never used the banding method. He was veterinary, and ran three ranches, and swore the banding caused more problems than it fixed. He was all about the "snip snip" when they were young, then sprayed the wound some purple stuff. It was actually pretty shocking how neutral the young calves were about the whole thing. They'd barely flinch.

They mostly use banding or just cut them out now. The one she has was used to crush the cords.
