Top Controversial Farm Job- Dehorning

For the millions of people who have never been around livestock some practices may seem harsh. Raising any type of market livestock is not a petting zoo. You have to be tough enough to do what has to be done and protect your investment. Most animals can endure procedures and recover quickly.

As a Veterinarian I congratulate you and your father for such ease an gentle Cattle management. • Horns are skin appendix that grow in most bovine breeds, they are useful to defend themselves their grounds or even aggressors, or fight for the right to breed... also group social ranking. • bovines are gregarious animals & have social rank,,, this traduces into bunts and constant taunting... some times blunt trauma and even serious e gorging causing bruises and lesions... • No heat Exchange in apofisis corneum sinus... great job, keep it up.

No other words had to be spoken as long as I got those clothes on as quick as I could and busted tail all day long.

It is so easy for people to gripe about what they think is right and wrong with what you do and just get on a keyboard and gripe away. You remove the horns and people gripe; you leave them on and people gripe. I have an idea; just remove one horn and shut everybody up. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic and informative video! When I was twelve or thirteen, (I am 59 yo now) we had a large animal vet. friend that took me on his normal and emergency weekend calls. I helped deliver twin calves once, (and also a breech, which was bad). He had me reach in to feel the calve's legs and where the heads were oriented for a good birth. It was a wonderful learning moment for me that I will never forget. He helped me learn about how life works. He also de-horned several cows while I watched. I realized then, that there is nothing glamrous about raising cattle. Cheers and Happy New Year to the Sonny Farms Family!!

And instead of using the powder the vet took barn cob webs and wrapped it around the horn when it shelled the outer shell . Great video keep them coming.

What they're saying about the horns, they're probably talking about deer and antlers. They cool with they're antlers because of more surface area, and thats why in winter they shed their antlers to get rid of that surface area that is cooling them. But yeah for cattle, I dont know about that, like you said they sweat and its not that much surface area.

I grew up on a farm in southern MN. I seldom stayed out late in High School because my dad would always get me up earlier depending on how late I stayed out. He would never complain or criticize, just if you stayed out late, get up early. Stay out really late (like after midnight), get up at 4:30AM and do some really crappy job like shovel manure out the young-stock barns. I can remember barfing on the tractor wheel spreading manure at 5:00 am. Really a good system to keep your kids self-regulating.

I grew up on a cattle ranch in Northern California. That display of de-horning was very mild compared to some of what I've seen. The bigger the horns and the later in life the de-horning happens, the more blood and suffering. If the horns get bigger, you can't use the loppers. Instead, you have to use a cutting cable which is about 24" long and has a handle on each end. Not much blood for those 3 compared to what I've see too. Good job explaining it. Love the sales pitch on Angus too.

[@peteparker7396]

I was always given dehorning duty.... I also looked like I murdered someone with an axe at the end of the day 🤣 it’s a necessity to dehorn, one they fill out better and two they don’t hurt other cattle in the lot.

We can’t survive without taking care of our critters and land.

@@Jaxon-iu6vb I dont really know the rules that well (where I work we dont castrate the bulls). But I know that you have to sedate them, and I think the vet has to do the castration. It is weird for me everytime I see video of guys vaccinating/treating their animals themselves, since here we basicly have to call the vet to do anything.

For cold weather processing we have a steel 45 gallon barrel with a hole cut in it on the bottom of the side and stick a tiger torch in there on low just so it’s warm not hot, heat rises through the barrel and keeps your syringes and needles from freezing between uses while they are sitting on top of the barrel, also then doubles as a table.
