[QUOTE="burnt_umber, post: 558031, member: 8258"] Thanks for your input, all. Seems to be consensus here toward dehorning/breeding for no horns. I was thinking a few might chime in on the purported benefits of keeping horns. I know there are some folks out there who really advocate for keeping horns. If there's a second injury, I'm afraid we'll have to ship her. But she's a wonderful family cow (if you overlook the latest incident), easy hand milker, and a very good mother- I swear she'd adopt a rhinocerous baby if put to it! With a calf on her, we get 1.5-2 gals. per day. I'm going to try to find someone to take the upturned parts of her horns off, in the meantime. If anyone here can support the reasons to keep horns, I'd be very interested to hear the other side of the debate. Oh, and you're right- I'm sure I would have ended up with a broken nose if she'd had no horns! ;-) [/QUOTE]
