[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 562941, member: 4353"] If they get so long that the edges of the iron can't cut into the skin around the horn base properly you can just snip the horns off with pruning scissors used on fruit trees and then apply the hot iron. I have done 100s that way. I didn't have much success with the banding method, when the horns broke off there was alot of bleeding, something you definately don't want in fly season. There was also some very unsightly regrowth. [/QUOTE]
