[QUOTE="SWSFHerefords, post: 714612, member: 9708"] Has anyone ever weighted the horns on any of their cattle? I have a horned hereford heifer that is about a year old. Her horns are growing straight out of her head and I would like to turn them a little bit so it would be easier for her to go through a head chute. I have looked into the weights but there are different kinds (3/4 lb, 1 lb, 1 1/2 lbs). Im not sure what kind to use. Also, I have heard people say that the weights will break the horns. Has anyone ever dealt with this? Someone also told me to strap rebar to the horns and the horns would grow with the curve of the bar. But I dont think I could get her to leave it on long enough for that to happen. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
