  Some one must have burdizzo's and be able to help you ,  does no one have local anesthetic for dehorning calves ??                            On a different point is the lamb tagged ?

You said no one had answered the original question , Local anesthetic  is used by farmers to dehorn calves and by vets to castratre

hi shep as i said no one here has horned cattle so no dehorning anaestetic available. also vets cost bout £500 for a private visit on island (but that is not the only problem- when i had a sick ewe last year i tried to get them to come but they were short staffed and would not visit) hum. but thankfully there is a visit to the island scheduled for next week so hope the wee lad will get seen then (tho see other posts to see why not!!)
