[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 714681, member: 6797"] Not every one hates, fears or finds horns a problem. In fact probably more cattle in the world have them than do not. Traditional animals have them - why not show them - Shorthorn, Hereford are only two of many fine breeds that carry them. So - I would answer back - on animals you keep or plan to keep - why bother? Why not just make them look good? A two way street. But on this board a typical very typical and predictable question. I was wondering who would be first - you beat my usual list of suspects - well done Weight of weights ...... 3/4 on a yearling heifer is plenty - about six weeks or the tip of the horns down to about the middle of the tips of her ears and you are pretty much done - they will curl around and over the top of her nose - not into the side of her head or into her eye. Do not put the weights on too tight - you need some slack as the horns grow in diametre as well as length. Regards Bez+ [/QUOTE]
