[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1672806, member: 39018"] Noticed that they didn't really compare "debuttoning" with an electric dehorner when still a young calf on impact to the animal. One of the things that I really like about this method is that it leaves the animal with a really nice looking head... they look "polled", even though they're a horned breed. If you gouge or use bands on older animals, they have already begun to develop that "horned head" shape instead, and that "poll" of the head can still be a lot more dangerous when handling them... and they know it, just like they know how to use their horns. It never feels good to get caught by their head, but not having that wide, hard "poll" on them is very helpful. [/QUOTE]
