[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 28812, member: 220"] Agree that if you're going to show the animal, get a vet to dehorn it. However we've dehorned mature animals with no setback using dehorning wire. I figure 8 a piece of twine around the bases of the horns and tie it tightly in the middle... seems to slow down the bleeding. You can also cauterize a bleeder with a hot iron. We dehorn all the calves at branding using a hot iron, and it's slick as a whistle. No funny looking regrowth and no bleeding. Good luck with your animal. Take care. [/QUOTE]
