[QUOTE="dun, post: 556926, member: 34"] There are 2 sizes of tips for dehorning. A smallish one for goats and a larger one for cattle. Make sure you're using the right sized tip for whichever one you are dehorning. The method we used was after the copper ring iss made, pop the button off from inside the ring and use the side of the iron to smooth the inside part down to where it is flush with the copper ring. You may still be able to do it with the kids at this stage. To insure you are centered over th horn bud it may help to clip the hair in an area larger then the horn but so you are burning just short hair instead of long hair. [/QUOTE]
