Heather,

That would be like sawing off your fingernail----only lots more blood
loss.  Not a humane thing to do to the animal to say the least.

Hi all,

Has anyone ever cut the horns off of a live Jacob ram.  I have one I
need to 
cull, but I want to put him on "the truck".  However, I would like his
horns.  
I was thinking of using OB wire (given to me by a vet) and using pine
tar, or 
blood stop just before sending him off?

Any ideas, comments etc???
