[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 556922, member: 411"] Been breeding polled cattle so not sure about the horned type. Got a holstein drop calf for a cow that aborted a while back and it is gettin horns. They aren't quite threw the skin yet but I know it is coming and want no part in it. We tried using the circular iron on some goats but the horns just kept growing. Burned in a circle until it had a nice deep copper ring around the horn bud (like it said on the internet instructions) but all 4 kids horns have kept growing. Just a bit of scarring around the horn base but the horns are defonitly continuing to grow. So wondering who of you use this method and can lend some help on how to accomplish it successfully. Not sure what to do with the kids now. They are almost a month old and the horns are about a half inch now. If I can't dehorn a couple of kids I defonitly think it won't work on a calf. Are the methods the same? How do I dehorn with this method successfully!!! HELP!!:help: Thanks, Double R [/QUOTE]
