[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1672764, member: 22295"] Have dehorned using all methods. Now we use a paste on small calves, An electric circle branding iron on 2-350 lb calves and Callicrate bands on larger horns. My BIL has used the Callicrate bands on 50-60 hd of roping steers for several years. Works great. Cattle with larger horns has a lot less stress. I know some that after a few weeks knock the horn shell off and then cut the horn off. They say no bleeding. Banding is the preferred method in this area by those who do larger numbers. We each have our preferences but I haven't used our dehorners in years. I use what I consider better, less stressful methods. [/QUOTE]
