Dehorning.

Everyone has an opinion on whether it’s necessary or not, but for our dairy, we do it because it’s safer for our people who work closely with our cows every day, and it’s safer for the other cows in the herd too.

But having a hot iron burn out the sensitive horn tissue while our animals are conscious? No thank you.

So our babies get:

✅ sedation to reduce anxiety and pain

✅ a nerve block to numb the area around the horn

✅ injectable pain relief for ongoing pain management for 24 hours after they wake up

✅ topical numbing spray (tri-solfen) after the procedure

The sedation is reversed and they get back on their feet and start eating as if nothing happened. ❤️

When the tallest cow stands next to the shortest cow in the dairy!
That’s why our dairy has to operate with flexibility to cope with all shapes and sizes.
