Things You'll Need
- Soft cloth
Instructions
Give your cattle lots of space between stalls to minimize the risk that they will accidentally damage each other with their horns. If you have beef cattle on your farm, it is especially important to keep them separate from horned dairy cattle so that they do not damage any of the meat.
Wash the dairy cows' horns regularly, at least once a month, using warm water and a soft cloth. Don't use soap or detergent.
Have a veterinarian regularly tip the dairy cows' horns. This does not harm the cow but is similar to humans trimming their fingernails or hair. Tipping ensures that the cows' horns will not overgrow or break.
