Not a style I've seen before.I've used the small (often green) rubber band style that you use with the spreader pliers.I found the listing. Had a laugh. It must be a really good one because ours just turned bull calves into steers.In their photo above they have apparently managed to change it into a dairy cow. 😄 I'm not sure if the folks who made the listing have never been on a farm, or are just targeting customers who have never been on a farm.In the "not for" column they show a cute AI kitty and a chicken. Okay, you do neuter cats so there might be confusion. But we never castrated our chickens and good luck figuring out where to attach the rubber band. And for bulls they recommend "1-3 years of age".If you want the benefits of a steer (growth patterns, aggressive behavior) you better do it a lot sooner than 3 years. We did our beef calves at a few weeks. Also, I guess they are worried about showing "the goods" because the demo photos show putting a rubber band on a tail. With text that says, "Not an actual procedure" If anyone wants to see the public facing listing:https://www.amazon.com/exblows-California-Castration-Stainless-Bands%EF%BC%8830/dp/B0GYW2P6WX
