[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1781101, member: 12607"] If they've not had a 'blackleg' shot, use a polyvalent Clostridial bacterin-toxoid, containing tetanus toxoid - like Cavalry 9 or Covexin 8; ideally, first dose administered 2-3 weeks before banding, then a 'booster' dose at time of band application. Don't try just giving a dose at the time of banding and hoping that they have time to respond to the bacterin/toxoid before tetanus toxin is produced in the banded tissue... I've seen some real trainwrecks, where the bacteria won out... folks sure wished they'd waited for that second dose... losing 8 or 10 800-pounders hurts, no matter how cheap they might be. Other vaccines - like for IBR/BVD/PI3/BRSV, H.somnus, etc. - if you're gonna do them, now would be the time to do it. [/QUOTE]
