Dehorn holstein milk cows

Dehorning Holstein milk cows is a common practice aimed at preventing injuries among animals and handlers, as well as reducing the risk of damage to facilities. The procedure can be done using various methods, including surgical removal of the horns or the use of caustic chemicals on young calves. It's essential to follow proper welfare guidelines during the process to minimize pain and stress. Many dairy farms opt for breeding polled (hornless) Holsteins as an alternative to dehorning.
