[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 354761, member: 4353"] good question Steve, i'd also like to know. I banded a few about 5 years ago, but with varied results. The ones that did lose their horns had some awfull looking regrowth. Also as the horns died they breaked off resulting in quite heavy bleeding. Not more than conventional dehorning, but the difference for me is that when you dehorn you know you will have bleeding and can monitor it. When he horn breaks off in its own time you don't know when to monitor specially if they graze a large area. I wouldn't recommend this method, or any other method of dehorning in the spring or summer. [/QUOTE]
