[QUOTE="tytower, post: 683921, member: 2399"] It gets a bit wowserish on this subject but if you want to have a try read up on it , get some dehorners and do it. Dehorners are not cheap about $300 and you need a headbale. Cut the horn off about 1/8thinch into the skin line. Hope it don't bleed to death. Most of them don't. Its said you pull the vein out after cutting ,never done that before but I will try it next . Read thet a hand saw was a better way as it leaves the cut jagged . Tried this and it doesn't seem to alter the length of bleeding time either. With a saw you learn to do it fast. Dehorners are good for those really thick horns that your thumb and forefinger won't go round but I think most dairy brands I know are pretty thin. Getting to the second one with a saw is a bit trickier.! [/QUOTE]
