What is it worth to wire horns off 5 yearling heifers and one 2 year old cow and then cauterize each one? I have a number in my head, but want to see how others compare.
What's the job worth?

My vet gets $5 per head, I'd be happy to pay $100 for a group that size.

Yearlings weren't too bad. Probably about 15 min each. 2 year old was tough going. Had to take a breather mid way through each horn. That one probably took a good 40 min - had one massive artery on one side that took about 8 minutes just to cauterize. Neighbor said my ticker couldn't be too bad yet (he's had a few heart attacks). I said it was a more respectable way to go than keeling over sitting on the couch.
