[QUOTE="BIZIN, post: 740893, member: 5783"] We used to have horns on all our cows till 2000. We still keep the horns on our bulls. In Spring of 2000 dad and I were trying to read tattoos on a few cows that lost their tags over the winter, cow threw her head to the side and crushed all the bones in dads hand. We started dehorning our females that year. Also got sick of cows getting heads stuck in ring feeders when we used to calve in Feb and March. I agree though, we lost less calves to coyotes when we had horns on the cows. I dont even remember seeing coyotes walking through our herd when I was a kid, and now I see one a week or more. [/QUOTE]
