[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 113534, member: 1726"] You can band them also. Place an elastrator band down next to the skull. You may have to notch the base of the horn a little to get the band to stay put. Cut's the circulation off and the horn falls of in about 5-8 weeks. I use a Improved Keystone dehorner when I need to. I tie a piece of baling twine (biodegradable type not plastic) around the base of both horns (one piece around both) as close to the skull as possible. This cuts circulation off to the blood supply of the horn. I don't buy to many horned cattle anymore though. [/QUOTE]
