[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1044154, member: 122"] If you are planning on sending them through a sale barn then I think it would be worth your time to have the horns removed. Around here there doesn't seem to be a big demand for 600 lb. Holsteins anyway, and if they have horns you might not get many interested buyers. I would either scoop them out or use a sawzall starting at the back and going to the front and then cauterizing it with your hot iron. I guess banding is supposed to work great but I've also had trouble getting the bands to stay on. [/QUOTE]
