Calf Dehorning

Viewtodiefor · 2012-02-08 21:48:05

Just looking to get some ideas on what ye guys are using to debud calves and at what age. We use to old gas dehorner from the bottle but there seem to be lots of newer types out there, are they any good and easier on the calves? Is anyone using these?

Couple of good threads in the last year on the subject. I dunno how to link to them but hopefully someone else will!

SCWS dictates the age at which calves are disbudded.
