[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 158726, member: 190"] Most of my bull calves are bandedjust before or at weaning depends where they are going. The ones that are cheerioed at birth are because they are destined to be "show" steers and will be weaned at 4 months. Once they are in the barn I don't have time to deal with weaning stress AND castrating stress. Dehorning is done 9 times out of 10 on the ground the day they are born. I use butane, works well on the horned herfs. Havn't stunted or missed one yet. As for where, I work cows alone (well the dog helps). If it isn't done on the ground w/in the first week of their lives, it gets done in the chute. [/QUOTE]
