Dr. Naylor

As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.

This is an agrarian review of Dr. Naylor's Dehorning Paste. To explain this, animals like goats and cattle have horns. They are dangerous to other animals in they uses them to bully and they also can bruise and gore human herdsmen.

There are three methods in dealing with horns. You can slice them off which involves blood, cauterizing the veins and arteries causing the bleeding, and, spraying an insecticide as horn worms lay eggs in them at times, and you have maggots which kill the animal.

There is burning the horn bud, with a hot iron. Too much heat can burn the brain and kill the animal eventually.

The last is the dehorning paste, which is a caustic base that burns the tissue.

I have accomplished all three methods. Cattle seem to respond best to all types. In numbers of cases scurs can occur, which are horns that are partial horns.
Daisy was dehorned by burning her horn buds by the vicious lesbian cattle flippers. Mom used the dehorning paste previously without a problem, and most of our cattle were dehorned by cutting them off.
If holes occur which they can on large horns, matter can become imbedded in the hole, and then the head swells up with a cottage cheese type response as the body tries to isolate it.

This though is a review of Dr. Naylor's Dehorning Paste. In one experience with it, our buck screamed for half an hour in pain, was horse for days in his voice, and he has a nice pair of scurs forming, which means that torture was absolutely worthless.
To put it plainly, this caustic substance which can get into eyes to burn them, I would like to place this burning paste on Dr. Naylor's scrotum and let him feel the pain, as this stuff is not anything that should ever be recommened for goats.

On the opposite, with TL and a stancion, we clipped the hair on the buds, and with some screaming and holding, debudded the other buck we had in just a few minutes. I will not go into the details as there are sites for this, but it was far less traumatic, and this buck is going to have scurs too as most of them do.
Look it recommends to debud goat males in the first week, but they are so fragile that I am afraid of killing them.  We did these at day 7 and it still was not completely effective.

The vicious lesbians did burn Daisy's horns off, and I thought it was not the thing to do as they were too large, but I stand corrected as opposite of the goats, these horns are gone off of Daisy. Belle was too old to burn the horns off, so this appears to work on calves as most things work well on cattle.
Belle will either have her minature horns in place or will be cut off by the vet within the year. Just will see what they do, as most milk cows only have little horns that are not much of a problem on tame animals.

So that is the review, I would recommend that Dr. Naylor get caustic base put on his nut sack and left to burn it off, as this is not something one should ever put on goats. Goats are odd as they fight in play a great deal and always break off their scurs and bleed,and they grow back in various ways.

I have no experience in cutting horns off goats, but as the Vet did not mention it, it probably would cut a hole in their head to their brain and kill them, with a great deal of blood and more screaming. Goats scream and calves just bawl, and that is easier on the psyche.

I leave this at that as goats are just too high nerve center development. There is nothing easy about this, but I believe I am going to continue with the burning on goats as it is the best of bad things, and for cattle I think I might see how Mom does things in dehorning paste in the future, and then try that burning them off to see what is best on that too.

Best is polled animals of course.......polled means no horns.
