[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1812868, member: 42782"] Yes it is 7 years old thread but just out of curiosity I read most of it. Whether and how much they are suffering from dehorning is kind of subjective. I found this study from Kansas Sate University. Comparison of the Effects of Three DifferentDehorning Techniques on Behaviorand Performance in Feeder Cattle in a WesternKansas Feedlot [URL unfurl="true"]https://krex.k-state.edu/bitstream/handle/2097/13554/cattle12pg15-18.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y[/URL] Kansas state did not test chemical dehorning. We did not have a dehoring iron so I used Dr. Naylor's dehoring pasteon my 6 week old jersey heifer. Because she might have rubbed it in her eyes she was cross tied like a horse. For the first 2 or 3 hours she showed signs of distress and wanting to rub her head but after that she mostly stood quiet. After six hours tissue where it was applied was sloughing. She was bottle fed so would not be rubbing this stuff on the cow's udder. It did a great job. No scurs or anything, she's just like a polled animal. [/QUOTE]
