I have a heifer and a steer that have horns; didn't get to them when I could burn them off. What do you figure I'll get docked per pound when I sell as feeders? I'm trying to figure whether I should get vet to come and remove.
How large are the horns? Good chance you could dehorn them yourself.jnm303":17xdmp4r said:I have a heifer and a steer that have horns; didn't get to them when I could burn them off.

True, I've used the big Keystone Dehorners on mature Brahman bulls. It's a tough pull but will cut them off perfectly.JSCATTLE":1pawevpu said:I've dehorned long horns ..if the shears won't fit over the horn use a hand saw ...
