[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 330826, member: 2862"] Shock/stress isn't a permanent state of being. Do your dehorning properly, and I don't believe you'll see a heavy hit to your weights, especially if you hold onto the animals and feed them for a few more weeks/months. My dehorned animals all weigh in with my polled animals, and I never see a particular trend to more or less weight. Last year, my highest gaining steer was dehorned. Would he have weighed more if I hadn't lopped off the horns? I doubt it. Rod [/QUOTE]
