[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 741832, member: 13859"] I grew up with horned hereford and never did we feel thretened by the horns. Granted , I could see that horned cattle would be a problem around feedbunks and hayfeeders. We feed out in the open on the ground so no problem. Only go through the chute once a year with the cows and after they are 2 yr.old's hope to never have cow's in the correls. We definetly have people ask for only horned bulls. They say they keep the bulls scatered beter during breeding season and bulls winter so much better with some horned bulls as they tend to keep order in the bunch. All this said we are starteing to dehornthe heifer calves as a new generation is in charge. As for the statement " you can't eat the horns anyway",neither do we eat the switch on the tail or the hooves but everything has its purpose and I stiil personally feel that horn's properly trained are a usefull tool.
