[QUOTE="jersey lilly, post: 230034, member: 2258"] We've never dehorned with the bands on calves. But......our daughters 4H goat was done this way, small groove around the base of the horn, and the band put on. About a month later one horn fell off..........and the holes in his head became infected.....3 days of antibiotics got him over that, with a good amount of weight loss durin that time......picked a lil weight back up and 2 weeks later the other horn fell off.....and got infected......3 more days worth of antibiotics and he'd lost just about all his weight. This years goat looked horrible, she just showed him Monday at the fair, and didnt do well at all. We didnt expect her to place. She showed him awsome, he just looked bad. So my answer to that kinda dehornin is........NEVER AGAIN!!!!! ( our breeder we buy from did it) But I'm thinkin if goats do it, calves would too. [/QUOTE]
