[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1598375, member: 38590"] It's not necessary, but few things in life are. The dairy industry definitely has more at stake, though. The tail docking ban a couple years ago really opened a lot of eyes around here. It's a matter of when, not if, dehorning and disbudding are banned as well. It will be too difficult to completely eliminate horns in the next couple of decades the natural way. The major breeds don't have enough naturally polled bulls available (and none of them top the breed for productivity), and crossbreeding just doesn't work for most commercial dairies. [/QUOTE]
