[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1218433, member: 18809"] No deception, since the papers dictate if the animal is polled or scurred. That bull that had the burn marks went on to win Champion simmental at the Missouri state fair (percentage), so it did not hurt him at all. I just think it looks ugly, and had several people assume he was horned when in fact, he was not. We removed the scurs when we found them, and I think he was about 10 months old so older, yes. We should have just left them, since they were no bigger than your index finger tip and loose. When you show, you clip the hair down tight on the head, so every mark shows. Scars on Bulls or steers are not nearly as ugly as scars on heifers! :nod: [/QUOTE]
