Subject: Dehorn with a bander?


Western OK
I got a solid red 3/4 longhorn 1/4 red Angus bull calf I'm going to keep for a bull. I tipped his horns with the rest of them back this summer when we worked them, but since I've decided to keep him I'd like to take them off. Back when I bought his daddy 8 years or so ago, the vet and I gave him a shot that almost knocked him out and took a Sawzall to them right to the scalp. He was almost 2 years old and his horns were probably 2ft long. I'd like to avoid that.

Anyway I've read where some guys used their banding tool to band close to the head, then cover it with tape to keep them from rubbing them off. Anyone ever done that? If so could you fill me in on how yall did it successfully? Need some pointers, thanks.
