[QUOTE="skip, post: 28658, member: 82"] When we started raising cattle 4 years ago, the first pairs we bought the seller told us he took his calves to the vet at 6 months old to have them dehorned. I asked the vet if that was best and he told me that some people dehorn them very young but he preferred to do it at 6 months old. He uses a saw that looks like a fender grinder and cuts them clean. He medicates them and we put them back in the trailer. We have done a lot of them and have never had a problem. I tend to get a headache everytime I watch it though. [/QUOTE]
