[QUOTE="Idaman, post: 769646, member: 14119"] In 50 years with horned Hereford cattle we have never put a single horn weight or sloped the horns on a female. It works great in that they learn at an early age to just give one another a little more room. Horned cattle like this you NEVER witness fighting with each other. Their differences are settled early and quickly. Another big advantage for us in running on the open range is anytime when our cattle get mixed with others they are very easy to spot, even from the air. Also whenever any neighbor sees those trophy heads they know exactly who they belong to. They are much easier to spot than a brand. You want to see much more fighting then go ahead and dehorn or runs polls. Even females with trained horns fight a lot more than trophy heads. [/QUOTE]
