[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 828196, member: 12607"] Tetanus is the only reasonable concern. I have seen baby calves with full-blown tetanus a week or two out from having bands applied. I know millions of them are done every year with no problems, but I've seen enough of them, that on the few instances where I've used bands, I give a tetanus antitoxin injection - or vaccinate with tetanus toxoid 2 weeks or so prior to application of the band, in order for the calf to develop some modicum of protection.
