Hornless beef best for better prices on carcasses
Hornless cattle fetch 25 to 76 cents more per hundredweight than horned stock of similar quality. Horn development can be prevented with caustic soda or potash applied to calves aged 4 to 10 days, over horn buttons only, then stopped before bleeding. Pine tar after horn removal reduces bleeding and flies. Not the cheapest but the best. Full O-Pep Poultry Feeds. Weibel Mill Co.
