I have a cow that has a horn growing into her head. I haven't dehorner anything since a teen helping dad. Yep memorable!! He acquired this one thinking it wouldn't have horns.
I will use piano wire since I have it at my "money making job". But how close do I need to cut it to the hairline? Online research failed to give this detail. Also what do you recomend to stop the bleeding? Thought about the powder. It is a 6 year old cow. I expect it to be the only cow I ever dehorn. So I don't want to spend unnessary money on equipment. But I don't want to chance anything either. The Vet Saturday morning is an option if age makes it to risky.
