[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1179850, member: 20580"] At conception here but with Herefords unless you are using a homozygous polled bull still can see a horn once in awhile in polled cattle. We use the paste right after birth if we can feel horns. As long as you apply it right it works great, if we can't detect horns at birth then we usually wait a couple weeks after weaning to de-horn that way you aren't adding more stress that they already have from being weaned. Not sure why some people still like to leave horns on their cattle. From a safety and welfare standpoint there is no advantage, the animal can potentially cause harm to humans, other animals, or even themselves if they get them caught up in something but there are breeders out there that will swear by leaving the horns alone.
