Last sale for Williams Lake this year.

[gcreekrch]

Some value added beef. Bovishield One Shot, Clostridial with tetanus, Draxxin, banded, dehorned and back on feed. The five cows are all young and were exposed. Will preg check them when we take the strings off.

Never seen the strings before, I assume they are meant to decrease bleeding? How long do you leave them on?

Act as a touriquet, about 3 days.

 

[bird dog]

So why not just tip them?

 

[Allenw]

He did just got real close.

Our vet does the same thing with the strings to act as tourniquet... we leave it on 24-48 hours normally. Not near as much bleeding for them...don't have many to do but sometimes on bought ones like @gcreekrch .... usually when son buys some bulls, and the horns are not that big.

Is that some kind of special knot? Is it tied in a way to tighten and not release until it's cut? Puts pressure on a vein to the outside?

 

[farmerjan]

Nice bonus for you, no flies to worry about either.

Yes.

I am thinking these guys have a $3 per day profit in them by late February or early March.

I was taught that if you are to do a job to do it right the first time. Only people who benefit from horns are the roping crowd today. Feedlots here will knock you $10 a hundred for horns. I bought these at very close to a dollar a lb under what they could have been worth if the previous owner had cleaned them up himself.

 

[puzzled in oregon]

It certainly tidied them up. Counting horns, it looks like you did 11 head

That we did, was happy a big strapping young guy that wanted to learn showed up with the neighbor to help.
Learned yesterday that after 4 my shoulders started complaining.

 

[puzzled in oregon]

That's quite a bit of sawing.

 

[gcreekrch]

That's quite a bit of sawing.

I'm down to where i have to rest between sawing horns. I need an electric saw that uses OB wire.

 

[sunnyblueskies]

Give me a lesson. How do you apply those ropes, where do they have to sit? How tight?
Interesting, never seen with rope.
Williams Lake in B.C.?
