[QUOTE="puzzled in oregon, post: 1820356, member: 40255"] Tetanus is out there. Usually needs a break in the skin to enter the body. Banding calves works well, but occasionally when the sack drops off there is a small sore(it's not infected) or open spot were the sack was connected, it heals quickly. I don't know if you vaccinate with any of the basic 7-way or 8-way vaccines, but some of those(Covexin -8) contain the tetanus prevention. The first vet I ever was acquainted with instilled in me that the cost of vaccination is a very inexpensive preventative. A lot of calves/lambs have survived without vaccination. But if it worries you vaccinate. And like you said your neighbor is well versed in these things, so good source of suggestions. [/QUOTE]
