Dehorn mature or semi-mature cattle safely with Shoof Farm steel wire. Special steel wire with fine saw teeth. Short piece fits handles (218530) and is used to saw around horn base.
Dehorning wire has been used for many years for removing mature or semi mature horns. This special wire is made of steel with saw teeth. A short piece is locked into the special handles and then simply used as a saw around the horn base, as close to the skull as possible. Change wire after 2 or 3 horns. Use hot iron or Dehorning Packing to stop bleeding. Allow animal to stand quietly afterwards. Do not mix immediately with other stock. Also useful for de-tusking boars.
