[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1397215, member: 25884"] We use the little green "cheerios" bands for the littler "sets" on a calf, and the "callicrate" bander on the bigger ones. Always give a tetanus toxoid shot with the bigger bander. It's only 1 cc in the individual bottles. And if they are close to "bigger" and still can use the green bands, we will give a tetanus toxoid shot too. Cheap insurance. We have never had a problem or lost a calf that way. Have had several "vet cut" and have nearly lost some due to excessive bleeding. So I just said, enough. Also do try to watch the moon phases. We don't band when it is coming full moon. Wait til it is going into last quarter to new moon. [/QUOTE]
