Is the tetanus absolutely necessary when banding?

When you band, you set up the ideal conditions for tetanus. I would only skip if I could afford to loose a calf.

I think it depends on your area and the age of the calf. When we band at a month or so we don't give tetanus vaccinations and have never had a problem, but if the calf is around a year old (calves kept for bulls that didn't pan out) we always vaccinate for tetanus.
