Nieghbor is wondering if I could band a 3 year old cows horns. I told him I have heard of it but not done it myself. I used the search and came up short. Will this work and where should the band go and any other comments. TIA

i remember working for another hereford outfit when i was in grade school. the guy had probably 50 or so mature cows that had untouched full racks - I thought they were beautiful and he wanted to get rid of them. So we sorted those cows out and i was expecting to maybe cut them off with something. the first cow gets caught in the chute and this guy tells me to get back and he swings a big old sledge hammered over his head and cracks those horns right off. i could not believe how well it worked with very little blood - very quick job of it too.
