The Bainbridge Callicrate SMART Bander is a professional livestock banding system designed for bloodless cattle castration using a high-tension rubber loop applied around the scrotum.
Designed for larger animals and delayed castration applications, the Callicrate system provides Australian cattle producers, livestock owners and rural operators with a purpose-designed alternative to traditional surgical castration methods.
This listing is available in three options:
Select the required option from the variant menu before ordering.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Complete Kit | Complete Callicrate SMART Bander start-up system for producers purchasing the banding equipment. |
| 25 Pack Loops | Pack of 25 replacement Callicrate SMART loops for use with the compatible Callicrate bander. |
| 100 Pack Loops | Bulk pack of 100 replacement Callicrate SMART loops for higher-volume livestock operations. |
The Callicrate Bander Start Up Kit – Complete provides the core equipment required to begin using the Callicrate banding system.
Please note: the 25 Pack Loops and 100 Pack Loops are replacement loop options and do not include the Callicrate Bander tool.
The Callicrate banding system uses a strong rubber loop that is positioned around the scrotum and tensioned using the Callicrate applicator.
The loop is tightened using the bander’s tensioning mechanism and secured in position. The system is designed to provide controlled loop tension when correctly applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Because this is specialised livestock equipment, operators should familiarise themselves with the correct procedure before use and follow all manufacturer directions and appropriate animal welfare requirements.
The Callicrate system is designed as a bloodless cattle castration method, using banding rather than surgical cutting.
This makes the Callicrate SMART Bander particularly relevant to cattle producers looking for specialised equipment designed for banding larger animals.
Correct animal selection, restraint, technique, vaccination requirements, aftercare and monitoring remain important parts of responsible livestock management.
Unlike small rubber-ring applicators commonly associated with very young calves, the Callicrate SMART Bander is designed for delayed castration and larger cattle.
The manufacturer describes the SMART Bander as suitable for delayed castration applications from approximately 300 lb / 136 kg through to mature cattle.
This makes it a specialised cattle management tool rather than a conventional small calf elastrator.
The 25 Pack Callicrate SMART Loops is intended for producers who already have a compatible Callicrate SMART Bander and require additional replacement loops.
The 25 pack provides a practical option for smaller cattle operations, occasional use or producers wanting to keep replacement loops available without purchasing the larger bulk pack.
Please note: the 25 Pack variant contains replacement loops only and does not include the Callicrate Bander tool.
The 100 Pack Callicrate SMART Loops provides a bulk supply of replacement loops for larger cattle properties and higher-volume livestock operations already using the compatible Callicrate banding system.
The larger pack can be a practical choice where multiple cattle are being managed and a larger supply of replacement loops is required.
Please note: the 100 Pack variant contains replacement loops only and does not include the Callicrate Bander tool.
If you are purchasing the Callicrate SMART system for the first time, choose the Complete Kit.
If you already own a compatible Callicrate SMART Bander and only require additional loops, select either the 25 Pack Loops or 100 Pack Loops.

Callicrate loops should be stored appropriately to help maintain the condition of the rubber material prior to use.
