[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1745394, member: 8202"] I haven't even spoken to the vet yet, so I don't know what the common practice there is. I guess if they sew the skin over, flies wouldn't be a problem, right? I always hear about cows having bloody open holes in their heads, and I really don't want that, so I was planning on leaving her horns intact, but not if I can't get her in the stanchion to milk her. MM, I'll have to ask him if he can modify it at all. I don't see how, but maybe if we both sit and look at it for a while, we can think of something. The side supports go three feet down in the dirt, so those probably aren't moving. And hubby is getting old to the point of not being able to do a lot of work anymore... but maybe he can tell me what to do, if we come up with a plan, and I can do the actual work. I should call the vet first, though. It might be easier to just de-horn her and be done with it. It would sure save ME a lot of work, that's for sure! [/QUOTE]
