Dehorning in Cisco, TX

Dehorning has long been part of animal care and ownership, notably for cattle. Dehorning refers to the process in which horns are removed, usually done so to prevent injury to both the animals and people who interact with them. Lazy 3 Animal Care understands that this is a sensitive topic and that it’s important to dehorn livestock with minimal harm or distress. That is why they have developed innovative techniques and technology that make dehorning more humane than ever before. In addition, anesthetics are often used during the procedure to ensure minimal pain or stress for the animals involved.

Dehorning maintains a safe working environment for both animals and farmers. Dehorning eliminates the risk of cattle injuries resulting from aggressive behavior with other animals or humans. Dehorning can be done through any one of multiple methods; Lazy 3 Animal Care recommends disbudding/de-budding for calves under six months old for reduced risk and stress to the animal. Depending on the method used, veterinarians may administer local anesthesia or sedation, which further reduces any pain or distress during the process.
