[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1324640, member: 5612"] We band at 1-3 months usually, and started giving tetanus again a couple of years ago. I think it's important to point out that you are supposed to give the ANTITOXIN when you band. Antitoxin gives instant immunity, whereas the TOXOID takes a couple of weeks to kick in. We've never had a case of tetanus, but waiting until we lose an $800 calf to start giving a $2 shot doesn't make much sense to me. [/QUOTE]
