[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1179651, member: 8993"] Lucky_P, milkmaid, or any others, I have a 200 lb calf that came from the market 2 weeks ago yesterday. I worked him, band him and slit the bag afterward. He had eat and done well until Sunday morning. He was a little stiff and didn't eat feed. I gave him a shot of Nuflor and figured he would be ok. Last night he still didnt eat and looked a little off. He had no breathing problems or discharge. Tonight when I went he was just standing there stiff as a board. His neck was out and his rear legs seemed stiff. I have decided he probably has Tetanus. I have never vaccinated so I guess it finally caught up to me. I have decided I will destroy and bury him tomorrow. Now my question, is the Tetanus in the ground everywhere or how do they pick it up. Is burying him a good enough way of doing it? I can burn him if it would really help. But no reason for that it the bacteria is in the ground everywhere. He has not been out of my weaning lot so is it possible that it is only there? [/QUOTE]
