[QUOTE="ksmit454, post: 1700332, member: 39792"] This is only my second time calving out one of my cows. She calved last year, I missed it by literally 5 minutes! But I knew that she started springing, bagging, and was stand offish. She’s due any day now, with this years calf. Springing and beginning to bag. I’m not going to get much sleep because I think it’ll be any day. My question is this: if she does have a Bull calf, I will be casterating within a few days/week (I have heard it’s easier this way). Last time casterated, I used a banding tool and the Cheerios. If her calf is a Bull calf, should I just band and not worry about tetanus? Or give some sort of tetanus toxoid/antitoxin? Just want to be prepared if I do have to casterate. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
