Normally, i band with the first tetanus shot, but am trying to do better. Can't afford to lose any now. Lol
I worked calves about 3 months ago. Tags and shots. Had all intentions of getting them up 3 weeks later and doing the booster and banding same day.
My question...the 8 or 9 way had tetanus stuff in it. I'm not exactly sure how that stuff works. I know you give first dose, followed by a booster and then you should be good to band, right?
Do I need to start over? As in give a shot, then boost in a few weeks, then band. Or is it acceptable practice to give the booster and band the same day? I wasn't sure how the 90 day lapse would affect the tetanus protection.
Bulls are around 450 pounds.
With the current market, is it paying to make them into steers?
I'm still unsure if I'm going to sell these boys at Jonesville or put them on Jeanne's feed program.
