[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1107410, member: 14713"] Maybe the polled bull proponents could borrow the sales pitch my neighbor Angus breeder used to use. He always recommended "Screw the horns off with an Angus bull!" :P :P :P Dehorning is something tht needs doing but is really no big deal if you do it when the calf is young. I've done it several ways over the years, including paste on newborns or spoons or hot irons at branding time. Preferred the hot irons,along with a generous coat of pine tar. Used to use Pro-tec from Franklin. IIRC, Franklin is no longer in business. Don't think Pro-Tec has been made for years, but pine tar was the major component in it. [/QUOTE]
