No. I am going to band him tomorrow . I don't want to but its the best thing to do. I want to keep him as a pet because I am so in love with him. I always fall in love with the sick ones. I haven't banded him yet because he had joint ill and I didn't want to add more things for his body to fight off. Now that he is healthy I am going to band him. He is fully mounting me and this new calf haha, he's ready.
