[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1691046, member: 12607"] Used it on one batch of bottle calves, early in my career. Hate that stuff. Can't imagine using it on a calf going back to the cow. Best time to dehorn is at conception (polled bulls!), but that's not always possible. I prefer a good electric dehorning/disbudding iron. Did a 3 month old calf for some friends a couple of weeks back... did cornual nerve blocks first thing after we caught it in the headcatch - before they gave vaccinations, dewormed, implanted... calf gave no indication of discomfort or pain when we burned the hornbuds. Current recommendations/suggestions are to also give an analgesic, like meloxicam, for post-dehoring pain relief, as the nerve block wears off in a few hours. [/QUOTE]
