[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 977579, member: 1974"] Yes, I'd argue the point. I looked into using a Callicrate Bander several years ago, and they recommend using the Tetanus Toxoid. The Tetanus Antitoxin is for immediate protection for an open wound. Callicrate information says that doesn't give long enough protection for banding. So it is the Antitoxin our vet uses when cutting or dehorning. The lot where we lost the calf had horses about 10 years ago. I know people with horses are advised to get a tetanus vaccine if they get a deep cut, I assume that applies to cattle. Tetanus will live in the soil a long time, and if you lose 1 then you better vaccinate or use the antitoxin. I also switched to turning them back out on a good sod instead of a drylot situation to limit exposure. Tetanus is a Clostridium but it's not [i]usually[/i] in the 7 or 8 way clostridium vaccines. I'm religious in my use of clostridium vaccines. Thanks to you to spur me to looking up this information, I think I'll also start using one of the vaccines that include tetanus, Covexin 8, Bar-Vac CD/T, Vision CD/T with Spur, or Cavalry 9. :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
