[QUOTE="StrojanHerefords, post: 1787405, member: 42988"] I slope the horns with a reciprocating saw. My method is to restrain the animal with a rope around the base of the horns and secure the head against the head gate. Then I mark the bottom of the horn at the tip of the ear and the top of the horn an inch inside the top of the ear. Cutting the horns that way encourages the horns to grow downward. I like using an old heavy duty soldering iron to control the bleeding, I find indiscriminate cauterization of the outside part of the horn can cause the horns to grow crooked. [/QUOTE]
