[QUOTE="stocky, post: 89528, member: 1150"] i was wondering if anyone could tell me how you would use this in dehorning cows. if the cows are not caught in the headgate, how do you get to the horns in the middle of the chute? i have been trying to picture this and i havent figured out how you would have room to work. i dehorn alot of full grown cows that are crossbred or longhorn crosses and to keep the dehorning from knocking them too badly, i wrap a string around the base of the horns several times with some figure 8's in it to cut off the blood supply and then cut the horns off about 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the base and fill the holes with cotton. 3 days later, i take the string off so there is virtually no blood and the animal doesnt go off feed. i am just having trouble imagining how i will get the hacksaw in at the right angle to do this without the cow in the chute. the main reason i would be buying this is for dehorning and hoof trimming [/QUOTE]
