Are you looking to turn your horned calf into a show calf? Get on the schedule for a cosmetic dehorn!

Why do we do them & what are the benefits?

Cosmetic dehorning results in quick recovery time with skin closure there will be less of a chance for sinus infections to occur. This type of dehorning is typically done with show animals wanting a more aesthetic appearance. See the before and after transformation of a cosmetic dehorn. Cosmetic dehorns, if done correctly are a very safe and much needed procedure... not only for the safety of the other cattle around them but for the showman. We recommend doing them post-weaning and not during breaking. This procedure is Dr. Boyd’s specialty. Call or message us to get scheduled!

📍 Haul in Location: 711 Gerrardstown Rd, Gerrardstown, WV 25420

Build a successful breeding program using AI ⚡️

Artificial Insemination (AI) provides many advantages, but the biggest one is it allows producers to breed more cows in a shorter time period. AI is a valuable tool that can add merit to your herd by selecting bulls who compliment the cows in your program, infuse new genetics into your operation, and enhance the overall reproductive performance of your herd.

Contact your local representative or our Beef Call Center about using AI in your breeding program, questions about protocols, or assistance with selecting a sire that fits all your needs!
