I have a question that this brings up, I have a 2 year old heifer that has a scur, that I believe is a scur. I had her dehorned as a calf, she has what I believe is a scur on only one side of her head as it is loose and wiggles. But she was dehorned as a calf and don't know if they were scurs or horns at the time cause the vet did the dehorning. Any danger in dehorning that side again? I know horns can regrow back if they don't get it all down deep with the scoops, which is the way she was done, is scurs the same way or is it likely a horn that is just loose from being dehorned in the past? It is about a 1 1/2 inch wide now.
GoWyo, using a calf castrating band? Never heard of doing it that way. I think I could get a band over it and believe it is just a scur cause it is so loose, will just fall off like a sack after awhile?
