[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 660721, member: 440"] We don't tip ours of course but we sell bull calves to ropers sometimes and they tip their horns when they get too long for roping. I see alot of tipped cows being bred to Char bulls and I assume that these cows were used as ropers when they were young and then put into production. I know that this is a very good cross. I see bulls with tipped horns being ridden in rodeos. We have a bull that had close to 70" of horn tip to tip before he broke off about 4" on one horn and 3" on the other. He does fine and has no problems. I don't see why a bull with tipped horns would be a problem, I really don't see why you would want to tip the horns unless you're afraid of them. I would think that an animal with shorter horns could do more damage to other animals than one with long horns. My dad has some cows with small horns and I've seen them just tear into another cows' side with them. Our big horned cows don't damage each other with their horns. [/QUOTE]
