[QUOTE="SixBucksADay, post: 702814, member: 13369"] Not sure how big of horns you are talking about. Occasionally we miss some at branding and we wind up dealing with them just before weaning or at weaning. If the horns are two to four inches long, we put castrating bands on them. We use the little green bands and put two on each horn just in case one breaks. Slide them down the horn. Right where the horn meets the head you will find it soft and the band will want to constrict as soon as it reaches this point. It will make it's own indentation right behind the horn and stay there. The horns will fall off in 7 - 14 days usually. Sometimes you get a little blood if they arn't quite ready and the animal bumps it loose. It will be very little blood and nothing to worry about. These calves will have an eight way ( like all) at weaning with a tetanus just to be safe. Not sure if this is your situation, hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
