[QUOTE="Lane, post: 805443, member: 14381"] I buy 3 wt. calves weekly and dehorning is just part of the incomming processing. We catch calves in squeeze chute, catch nose with nose tongs, turn head and tie off. Most of the calves usually have from a button up to a 3-4" horn. I scoop the horns below the hair line and use an electric iron to cauterize any bleeders. We pack any open sinuses with cotton and cover with silicon sealer to keep dry. Our operations usually sees about 10 to 30 head/week and I can't remember ever losing a calf from dehorning. I should add that we don't castrate, dehorn or brand until calves have been in about 30 days. Lane [/QUOTE]
