[QUOTE="novatech, post: 410097, member: 5494"] I have always used the barnes type of dehorner on horns that are not to large. They allow for the removal of the growth area around the horn base. With the saw, that cannot be done and the area must be burned off afterward. If the growth area is not burned completly there will be spurs growing back. With the barnes tool it is easy to cut a 1/8 in. ring around the base. Also I have never seen the lidocaine injected around the horn. I have always injected in one spot just below the horn. I found a web site that shows the proper location. [url=http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/beef/facts/87-038.htm#METHODS]http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/liv ... tm#METHODS[/url] I have used the wire saw on larger hornes were the barnes dehorner will not work. The rest of the procedure is as bez described. [/QUOTE]
