As far as slit vs no slit, try some both ways and I'd be shocked if anyone picked no slit. I've not had issues either way, but with the slit they're dropped and healed in half the time.

Anything can happen. I try not to let my calves get too big before I give them the first dose of blackleg/tetanus shot. Try to do it while they still have immunity from their mama.fnfarms1 said:I've never slit the bag, honestly never heard of it. I lost 3 calves 1 year to tetanus, vet recommended the antitoxin at that point. Lost one 2years ago to black leg even though I vaccinated for it. Could a got missed or been that very odd chance the vac didnt work.
