How we band larger bulls on the Ranch...Bloodless Calicrate bander technique
What happens here
After banding, it is essential to administer a tetanus shot to the calf. The video shows using Covaxin 8 vaccine, given as a 5cc subcutaneous injection. The appropriate injection site is the 'BQA area' or 'triangle area' near the shoulder/wither, where the skin can be pulled up to create a 'tent' for subcutaneous delivery, avoiding intramuscular injection.
Goal: Vaccinate the calf for tetanus to prevent infection after castration.
