[QUOTE="Crazy Farmgirl, post: 914555, member: 17302"] The deacon farm I worked at had left about 500 calves intact until they were well over a year old. In the matter of 2 days we banded all of them and cut horns and cauterized also. Out of all those only 5 had issues with infection and those were also ones that had been "sickly" all along. We did tetnus but not antibiotic's. Few months later had 20 others cut by the vet and ended up with 8 getting infected and lost 2. Each procedure has risks. While it is hard to lose one I don't think that the vet chosing to band was the wrong choice. The fact that the infection went undetected was probably the unfortunate demise of this animal. [/QUOTE]
