Why Horn Management Matters

Horns can pose a risk of injury—both to other animals and to the people working with them. Disbudding and dehorning are standard practices in herd health, often performed early in life to minimize stress and complications. Our team uses species-appropriate tools, sedation when needed, and pain control protocols to ensure the procedure is as low-stress and safe as possible.
