[QUOTE="bgm, post: 301881, member: 1754"] Copied from [url=http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publications/PDF/FSA-3074.pdf]http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publica ... A-3074.pdf[/url] Cattle buyers often discount calves for the presence of horns. Results from the 2000 Arkansas Livestock Market Survey indicated that polled or dehorned feeder calves sold for an average of $1.49/cwt. more than horned cattle. Horn-related injuries may occur during shipping as well as in the feedlot and are thus undesirable to cattle feeders. I have a friend that manages a feedlot. He hates horn cattle, particularly long horns. He says horned cattle cause more injuries and take up too much space at the feed trough. As for me, I don't care if they are born horned or not, they won't stay horned for long. [/QUOTE]
