[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 940708, member: 14544"] They are your cattle, but I don't know that I can completely agree with the above statement. Horns cost the beef industry quite a bit of money each year. You can breed it back out of them, but it seems like extra work for someone especially if your heifers are already homozygous polled. If your producing heterozygous or horned breeding animals, a producer with a mixed herd that ends up with a lot of calves to dock may have a different opinion. Unnecessary expense and stress. Feeders/Packers lose a ton of money shipping fed cattle with tiped horns. Bruised meat isn't worth much. I do like those heifers. What program are they from? How much does your Bonanza bull weigh? What is the dam's breeding? [/QUOTE]
