Subject: RE: Dehorn with a bander?


middle TN
I have used little cheerio bands, square edge bands and California bander. Square-edged bands seemed to work OK, the California bander worked best of the three. The little bands are hard to keep on the horn, they want to roll with the taper of the horn. With Cali bander, it is not too difficult to get below the horn, just below the hairline. You just have to pull it tight! I never put tape, but I could see where that would help keep bands in place. Of the ones I have done that size or maybe a little larger took about 4-5 weeks before the horn fell off. It can work, less traumatic than Keystones! I would consider some kind of Tetanus vaccine protection with what ever method I chose.
