We tried "dehorning" some cattle this week using the Tri bander latex bands for the first time. A couple questions:
- Is there an ideal age or size for the approach?
- Due to the taper in the horn, we could not get the bands to stay farther up the horn than about 1/2" from the hair line. Is this a trick here?
- How long does it usually take for the horn tips to drop off a 5 wt. animal? I realize the time will vary.
