Dehorning (Livestock dehorning)
Dehorning is the process of removing horns from livestock, typically in commercial operations this is done early in the animals life. While the animal is young the horn buds are loose and remove easily with little blood loss. As the horn gets larger it latches onto the skull and if you dehorn fully grown horns the process will cause more stress and blood loss on the animal, therefore it is better to dehorn early.
