[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 646858, member: 7509"] Where are you located? Did you band these or cut? I recall being told by a bander that you need to give them TWO tetanus shots for them to be effective. I think cutting them cleanly in early summer then putting them out on CLEAN pasture with mama licking them clean and a good fly control program has a lower probability of infection, at least in the north. Cutting incision heals up faster than weeks with a band on a several month old steer, from what I have seen in my limited experience. Pasture right after cutting should not have a manure filled loafing area - confine them to clean grass with an electric wire for at least a few days or a week. Once again a new poster asking for information with absolutely no reference to even a general area or state where they are located! [/QUOTE]
