OBJECTIVE: To eliminate the growth of horns which can be a danger as animals mature. In most breeds, it reduces the live market value when horns are present.

APPLICATION: The Barnes type dehorners are an excellent tool for calves at weaning time (4-6 months of age) up to about one (1) year of age. If you are dehorning during fly season, or another vector type insect season, you need to have a fly spray or antiseptic available. The instruments to have at your disposal might be artery forceps, hemostats or surgical clamps. Many times, when the cattle are dehorned, the artery is clasped between the thumb and forefinger, twisted and held for a few seconds, released and returned back into the cranium. Check to make sure the bleeding is halted before releasing the animal. Apply any antiseptic at this time. If bleeding persists, consult a veterinarian.
