[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16070"] dehorning with paste is not very good, because when the calf nurses there is always the possibility that some of the paste gets on the cow's udder, leaving really bad wounds and/or infections. i have a burning tool, basically its a metal tube, that gets electricaly heated, then you just put it around the base of the horn for 20 seconds, and you're done. it hurts the calf for a day or so, as opposed to the paste, which can be painful for a couple of weeks. in my experience calves don't nurse so well when they are in pain, and thus i loose out on initial growth. you can use this burning device (don't know the english word for it) as soon as the little stubs start popping out.
