[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1196726, member: 12607"] Ron, The TAT you gave at the time of band application will provide 'immediate' protection - but I'd still give the TT booster at the appropriate time. MMagis - open wound is not necessary for tetanus - all that's required is an area of localized anaerobic conditions - like a banded scrotum, puncture wound, bruise, etc., and the presence of C.tetani spores. They're 'out there' - and, evidently, often 'in there' - just sitting in the animal's body, awaiting the right conditions to allow germination and growth. Majority of tetanus cases I've seen in cattle over the past 30 years have been associated with banded bulls - both babies and big boys. But, I had a case in one of my own calves, castrated by knife-cutting, and one last year, in a heifer - never did figure out what her injury was that allowed germination of the spores - and I was not, at that time, using a Clostridial bacterin/toxoid containing TT.
