[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16222"] If you are handy with it, or have a good vet that is, use a skull scoop now. Our vet puts a very thin layer of gauze over the openeing and douses it liberly with blood stopper and powdered antibiotic. I've seen stuff that's been doen in the middle of summer with no ill affect. There is another vet in the area that always seems to have them either get infected or fly blown no matter what time of year she dehorns. The thing is, the longer you wait the bigger mess you will have on your hands when you finally do it. dun > I have three six month old heifers > that have 3" horns I would > like to remove.
