[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1678850, member: 8202"] I have a mama milk cow that has one horn (I tried the dehorning paste when she was little and she rubbed off the left side, I guess). Anyway, she knocked hers off once, too, just the outer shell, leaving a bloody looking nub. She was careful with it for a few days because I'm sure it hurt, but it was winter so I just left it alone. It dried out and became her "new" horn after a little while. She still has it. It's her gate-opening tool. If she wasn't already 13 years old, I'd think about doing something about it, but she's a good girl and only uses it to open gates, so I put backup chains and clips on all the latches and that slows her down. Anyway, unless flies or something get at it before it dries up and heals, your heifer should be just fine. (I never found my cow's horn shell, either... and I looked!) [/QUOTE]
