[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1513893, member: 28912"] I know that you should give a tetanus vaccination and last booster at least two weeks before banding. But, has anyone given the tetanus anti-toxin and the toxoid at the time of banding? It is my understanding that the anti-toxin would give about 7-10 days of protection and then the toxoid would be ramping up at about 14 days. By that time the risk of tetanus would hopefully be declining. To get proper protection, it would require working the bull calves at least 3 times over the course of a month which is just not feasible for me. Am I totally off base here? I am amazed at the number of people in my area that simply give an 8way at the same time as banding and thinking that they are protected. [/QUOTE]
