Just had to comment on your use of lidocaine when dehorning. I haven't been around dehorning much and have never heard of lidocaine being used until now. I LOVE that you do! I am a wimp when it comes to causing pain to an animal. The job gets done but I am as relieved as the animal is when it's done. We buy Holstein bottle calves from a dairy and always have them burn the buds before we pick them up. Watched it being done once and hated it so they do it for me before I get there now. Can I do anything like the lidocaine to make it easier on them? Any other helpful tips? THANK YOU for taking the extra step.

One thing I have always done (with the animal in mind of course) is through a lasso over their head and snub them to a BIG cedar post in the barnyard. I let them choke their self unconcious . It really seems to lessen the pain.
Hope this helps.

Have used that method from a horse - owner did not like it much - but it works very well.

Just have to be sure to let off on the rope in time! :lol:

I would also use that method ON an horse. With my opinion of horses I wouldn't let off the rope.
