Cattle dehorning tool - GIF and patents

My grandpa would have filled that guys pants with buckshot for releasing that animal without packing the stubs with a salve and tar first. those open wounds were a breeding ground for what we called horn flys. they would lay their eggs and the larva would would eat their way out of the scabs opening the wounds again for more eggs to be laid. keeping the wounds infected.
The best solution was to raise Herferd or Angus NO Horns.
