[QUOTE="tytower, post: 644783, member: 2399"] A few squeamish people here I use a normal wood saw 14inch . Start about 1/8th inch into skin and saw away . In a head bail of course and you try to be quick and gentle . Have never pulled the arteries nor cauterised and just let them go . Blood stops in 10 to 15 minutes and not much lost but they probably are set back a couple of weeks by it. Australian Draughtmasters. I havnt lost any yet and probably done 200 by now . some 2 inches thick at the base -thats 4 inches circumference. Ill have to try pulling the arteries though ,I was not aware of this technique. Havnt got any scoops ,they want $300 for them and dehorners large $500. Nah, saw is good enough, but I will look at and try the wire saw idea too. [/QUOTE]
