[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 229271, member: 2830"] I agree with Ryder plus a few additional comments. Sometimes doing things the "easy" way may work for the owner and it may do the job - but it is harder on the animal. Depending on the size of the horn, you can do some damage as well - there is a lot of meat inside a big horn. You're going to hurt the animal - it will cost you gain and it may cost you in additional meds if it gets infected Do it right and it is done and over. Lots of info here - do a search. If you are not prepared to do the job in a humane manner call in a veterinarian - cheap and really the way for a newbie. Just because it works does not make it humane and does not make it the right way to get the job done. Seen a lot of hacks and I have fixed a lot in my day. I have the abillity to surgically remove your hand and make it quite painless. I can do the same job on your hand with a bander. Should it be necessary for me to remove your hand which method would you prefer me to use? If you do not know what you are doing - DO NOT DO IT! Recommend you do not use this method. Bez! [/QUOTE]
