Hopefully these will start doing something about eating down the jungle, I suspect I need more to make a decent dent though lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I helped the bloke round the corner de-horn calf’s and I just found that brutal......no reason to treat animals that way imho lads, they shouldn’t be a commodity treated like shit. Out of interest wilf what age were the calf’s? Did they offer any pain relief etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t know the exact age but no, no pain relief of any kind and the noise they made was terrible. Heifers we’re going nuts, they’d have killed us if they had got in the crush with us. I had to keep them back with a stick so they didn’t come over the gate. Edited to add: Based on that one experience I’d only ever keep polled breeds now Edited June 17, 2021 by WILF 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our milk processor now demands this as animal wealther is number one priority with them. We never even have them move whilst de budding. We have just started using the paste. But my boss being 76 is a bit sceptical of new things 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
