[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1593167, member: 25884"] If you feel comfortable doing the horns than go to it. I hate it. And get literally very sick on the disbudding/dehorning with the hot iron. Hornless cattle sell better here too except for any that go in the kill pen. Then they tend not to care as much. Have run both donkeys and llamas. The llamas seem to be better at protecting the calves, often being the "babysitter" for them. The llamas do good with the sheep too. But I have seen pictures where a donkey will literally stomp a coyote to death. We had one that was great, another that was so-so. Love to hear them though. [/QUOTE]
