[QUOTE="chippie, post: 805582, member: 5644"] My husband uses a tube dehorner. They come in different sizes so you need to be sure to get one large enough to go over the horn bud. You just sort of scoop out the bud. He does it as soon as the horn buds are apparent. He doesn't use a chute. We lay that calf down and hold it. He does one side, then flips it to do the other. It isn't as bad as ms camp says. If you don't get all of the horn, the calf may end up with scurs which usually isn't a big deal. [img]http://www.enasco.com/prod/images/products/8C/AC064033l.jpg[/img] Google tube dehorner to find where to buy one. Also, the "wire" that a person mentioned is OB wire. We have dehorned goats whose horns were several inches long with elastrator bands. You have to put the band on as close to the skull as possible. Two bands side by side worked the best. One helped hold the other in place. I've never tried on a calf. Here's a link about dehorning cattle with bands: [url]http://www.nobull.net/bander/SBdehorning.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
