I have a calf that's going to be cosmetically dehorned. How long does it take for a calf to recover typically? How long before they get back to being able to handle every day routine?

Ideally we like to give them a week or so before we start really working them again.  But earlier this summer we had one done that we wanted to show in about three weeks after she was dehorned.  She had really gentled down and was doing good before the procedure and we put a halter on her the next day.  We were very careful.
