The easiest way to avoid spring dehorning trouble is to do it when calves are three to ten days old. Trim hair around horn buttons, rub with moistened caustic potash until a bean sized raw spot forms at the horn tip, and protect fingers. Use grease to guard surrounding skin and wrap the applicator.
