Thanks for all the reply's. By tonight the calf was down and stretched out and very stiff. He was disposed of and buried. I will begin to look at the possibility of tetanus whenever I work calves.
boondocks, everything I can read says there is much more danger in the calf getting tetanus if just banded instead of cut with a knife. I only banded these because I have had wrist and hand surgery last week and was having issues trying to castrate them by myself. I will go back to castrating them now.
