[QUOTE="dun, post: 775722, member: 34"] We band from birth to 3 months and don;t give anything. The oldest calves we've banded (calicrate bander) was 7 months, those we gave shots. Now anything older then 3 months we just knife. Actually the vet does at fall workup. We'll have 3-4 this fall to do that way. Last year we had one get in infection in his bag, but a week later a heifer came into heat and he rode her enough that he broke the bag open and it drained and healed A hundred years ago (or so it seems) we knifed everything and just slapped a handfull of pinetar on the wound. Had one bleed to death so that's when we started banding [/QUOTE]
