[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 28766, member: 60"] Burning works great on young calves. The vet does my calves (Jersey bulls) done at 6-7 weeks of age. I've never had one grow a horn back. I had a yearling Scottish Highland heifer dehorned about a month ago. Wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Vet gave her a sedative and then use a cable saw to take the horns off. The thing cauterized as it cut, the only blood was from a nick in the skin surrounding one of the horns. She had pretty good sized horns, the bases were almost 3" in diameter. Ann B [/QUOTE]
