[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 431120, member: 2308"] We use the wire (OB wire) for anything big. Only takes a few seconds to cut through a big horn with it, and it cauterizes as it cuts (to an extent). There are handles for it, or you can just tie it around a piece of wood. On smaller horns we use loppers. And I dehorn all the calves at birth with dehorning paste. It is not often that we have to dehorn anything larger than a weaned calf anymore, and those are usually just ones that get missed at birth/branding. [/QUOTE]
