[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 666995, member: 2308"] Dr Naylors is the best paste out there as far as I am concerned. BUT, you have to use it while the horns are still bud's, or while they are very small. Once they have erupted you can still use it, but you must scrape/cut the tip of the horn off. Dehorning with paste is best done on calves under about 2 months old. Older calves with big horns need them burned, scooped or cut off. We rarely have issues when using paste, but occaisionally you come across a calf that will bleed very badly. Blood stop powder is the only thing I have found to help control the bleeding. We have only had 2 over the last 10 years or so to do this, the other calves (hundreds of them) did not bleed at all. It is not a big issue. Probably a bigger issue is being careful not to get any on yourself while pasting a calf. [/QUOTE]
