[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1657452, member: 22295"] As a seller I state no cuts for color or nub horns. It has never bothered the main buyers. Most of ours have been removed but once in awhile will have one slip by. We see very little slowdown in calves we dehorn on the cows. I use a circle iron on some and they never miss a beat. We band our bull calves and they keep on growing. Here calves under 4 aren't docked much for being bulls. As they go past that mark further the dock increases. We plan to sell this week. All but 5 hd will be 60 days weaned. Depending on how they sell will determine if we do the long term weaning again. With 72 hd and little wheat they will need to bring at least 20 dollars a hundred more to break even and 25 dollars a hundred to justify the added labor and for a decent return on money invested.
