[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 592180, member: 4353"] I am no show jock so my opinion don't count for much for USA showring purposes, but... I dehorn the occasional horned calf as young as possible with a small pocket size burner working with lighter gas. These calves are registered as horned, but dehorned. Scurs usually only show themselves much later and tend do regrow after dehorning. Personally I leave the scurs be, even on showstring animals, should i remove them the animal will automatically be classified as dehorned here and will lose its poll status. I just used a scurred bull and as soon as I've pulled him out of the herd and he rejoined the other younger bulls they started headbutting and within minutes he was de-scurred. [/QUOTE]
