[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 22873"] We use a paste on calves when they are about a month old. Just long enough that the horn is growing, but it can't be too big or the paste will not work. It isn't real comfortable to the calves and you need to make sure that they can't rub it on another animal, but it is easy and there is no blood involved. If done on a calf older, say about two months old, it will just stunt the horns for a while. If they get too big, we have a tool to cut the horn and then we burn and seal all of the blood vessels shut on the calf's head. Or we burn and they cut, depends on the age of calf. a headgate comes in very handy for these. [/QUOTE]
