Used some square shouldered band this spring to dehorn several mature cows and a few yearlings. Won’t be going back to cutting the big ones.

I guess we can’t all be perfect.

How far would you have to reach?

Banded at birth, they are all the same. We had no horns to burn off in this bunch either and that saves a lot of time. Burning horns off takes another 90 seconds.

Just one, wire brush every calf. No waiting like the old days with wood and then propane. No roaring in the ears or needing to add fuel.

Good heifers Silver, we are doing nearly the same thing with feeding.

Mostly for a joke but my back was bothering me yesterday and it was a change of position. Don’t worry Dave, I get a lot more done in a day than most.

Vision 8S, Bovishield Gold One Shot, a Draxxin to keep them alive until vaccines kick in, rfid tag and a brand. Average a calf every 40 seconds.

If too full here they will dial it back enough to overcompensate. Sometimes not enough even then.

We will keep as many heifers as we normally do. Cow herd will get thinned a bunch.

About an hour after I posted this I had one with a front leg back.

We have 46 left. I ain’t saying anything about malpresentations yet………
