[QUOTE="Classyusa, post: 1652166, member: 39409"] I am raising a few longhorns in NW Oregon. We had a lot of rain the last few weeks and my young bull's horns started flaking. A week or so later , after rubbing them on fir trees and sparring with steers at feed time, large sections have peeled off. I dont know much about the anatomy of the horn. I am concerned because his horn has peeled all of the rough outer surface off in places down to a shiny surface. I am worried it has peeled down to bone. I have heard of rubbing grease on the horn to prevent flaking but this is well beyond that. Will this lead to a major health problem with the animal? [/QUOTE]
