A good tip is to cut strips of inner tube to tie around the heifers heads after dehorning. The elastic keeps it tight then easy to whip off the next day. Great video et bon courage

Hi laura your looking well another great vid

Howdy from Texas! Never seen a dehorning gadget like that before, sure makes it quick and simple. Nice tip using string to apply pressure to halt the bleeding, I learned something new 😉

We always use a section of the right sized inner tube,doubled up on their head for a day or so to cut down on the bleeding. Very good looking cattle,Thanks from Manitoba,Canada.

Holy crap. Your old fella is hard-core.

Our local vets in Pembrokeshire use the power saw, too. An old trick is to stick broken matchsticks into any bleeding veins, which is pretty effective. But the paste is better - altho' we too end up with one-horned cows to deal with!

That’s some weapon for dehorning, it’s a great tool. Nice tidy looking super dexta you have in the shed.. the sound quality is much better now Laura, could hear your dad loud and clear. Great video as always 👍👍

I bought one of those dehorners about ten years ago and do a few every year and do some for the odd neighbours I find that if you leave a good rasher of hair around the base of the horn they bleed very little and don't grow a slug not that a bit of a slug makes much odds but some that I did about ten years ago and were kept for cows grew slugs that eventually grew into their heads so I had to wire off the offending bits eventually ( I'm talking six or seven years later) . I don't remember but I think I gave about €450 for the one I got and that included the dewalt grinder, my vet gets me to do most of the sculling that he has or borrows it for some clients between us we did 237 half mad cattle for a man about five years ago injecting them was the biggest job,cows , 3 year old bullocks back to strong calves, luckily we brought our new portable crush otherwise we would probably have been broken up as the facilities were not great, my vet still laughs about it, he says that the look on my face was comical when I looked into the shed and saw what was ahead of us, needless to say he had told me that we had a few weanlings to do and maybe a cow or two. We only had to replace the blade last year when I think back to sculling cattle fifty years ago with a saw the hardship on both man and beast, it's just a pity that some guys don't dehorn calves when they are small but at least we can make it as painless and as quick as possible when we have to do the job.

Great video, awesome dehorning tool, we've used them for 30yrs dehorning buffalo/bison

Great video. Seen the way you dehorning .👍🚜.good job on the painting 🌟

Thanks for showing the real side to farming.

Wow I never seen anything like that for taking off horns, We do them as calves with the burner works well for us, Laura thanks for filming fantastic job as always..

I remember trying to dehorn with a saw what a job ! and especially with a load of wild Limousin

Dehorned as calves with the gas dehorner is the best. Have to say though, that grinder tool is a great job. Have bad memories doing them here when I was young (co. Clare) as yearlings with a handsaw and me covered head to toe in blood.

Another good video. Dehorning is a job that has to be done. It makes them look a lot cleaner. Good luck with the herd test. Not an easy job

Great video Laura, houses are coming along great, good luck on renting them out.

Love a working holiday over there lol🦾

Thanks for showing the de-horning, it's not nice but has to be done. Give the dog a pat from me 🐶🐾🐾🐶

Interesting in the dehorning. Never seen it done like that amazing! Just need somebody to invent a quiet angle grinder. “Short and quick just like the dentist” remind me NOT to use a Irish dentist. Ps going to try the trick with the band to stop bleeding

Looks like it works pretty slick, sure beats using a shear or a set of gougers.

Uploads are class my question is what do yo miss about Ireland as I work away a lot as I am a bricklayer and miss simple things like soda bread, wheaten bread hence the name, take care 👍🇮🇪

Great video Laura

Great video, a great way to dehorn the quicker the better

We used to tie Lik that with the cord didn’t hav any one day but had cable ties. Used them way handier an tbey tighten a lot tighter less blood

Hello 👋 from Canada 🇨🇦

Best video

Great video Laura, you will have to give us a closer look at the super Dexta sometime

hello friend of all the ways to dehorn this is the fastest and it is perfect, in adult cows with 7 years old can I cut like this with that angle that you use to fit the animal's head? don't you burn after cutting? I loved the video but I would like to know if this is the best way to do my whole vacation

Can you do a video on the part of France you're in and the unique things about it?

Greatings from Grand Forks Nd USA

My dogs love chewing on them and huff trimmings 👍🥩🐕

Rubber tractor tyre tube works well too to stop bleeding as well.

Hello from colorado u.s.a.!

How big are the farms , do you have to do paper work like we do here in lreland , you have a well laid out garage , you know well your dad worked in a garage ,good operated .

Great video 🇨🇦

Dehorning cows / heifers is nota job for the weak hearted. But sometimes it has to be done - like “dad” have done many over the years. Glad to see it’s raining there too - my farm has never been so wet. Had our first calf of 2021 yesterday - bull and because they are Salers, calved unassisted and then 12 hours later walked 1/2 mile into the buildings. She was a week early and caught us out a bit as the cows only came in of the hills today. Farming, love it or walk away. Take care

Hi i really enjoyed that video ,i agree with your dad on the wire ,it was hard bloody work ,the angle grinder is so fast ,i was so amazed ,WOW ,also never in all my life working with animals did i see that trick of stopping bleeding as we always cotterised with a hot bolt

Great to see the dehorning going on, interesting piece of equipment for the job. Do you plan to stay in France or would you like to return to Ireland?

Laura. Is there any French you tube farming channels Perticurly regarding the beef herd

Great job! That attachment for the 9" grinder is unreal. Did your Dad make it or did he buy it somewhere? I use the wire myself an odd time but only a handful. .. I can't imagine doing 36 in one day with the wire!! 2 or 3 heavy cable ties are handy too as a tourniquet. Do ye ever bother or have to halter cattle? Sometimes cattle are quieter when cattle front and back of them and just tie them up to the crush bars or ye could tie em inside in locking barriers

is there any bogs like for turf over in france if there is please can u tell me because bogs in ireland could be closing

The angle grinder dehorner is sure faster than the wood saw.

Jaka Ty jesteś śliczna 🙂

Hi Laura just wondering where ye got them pumps from in ireland for the solar . What psi and flow rate are they. Going making one here. Videos are great great to see how ye are going over there while we are walking around in water back here.😁 . Thanks

I have a guillotine for the job but prefer the saw as it leaves a sweeter head.

You can tell the age bye how long the tail is . I want a horn!!!

Laura would you not de horn them when they are calf’s

Love your videos Laura keep them coming , are the houses that you are fixing up for renting for short rent in summer or for long term rent ?

Fantastic video's guy's Will ye be set houses to Irish tourist For holidays ??? If so how will we book Regards

Whats the story of the Super Dexta under the loft?

Are Ye allowed drill a water well when you need one or is that a permit and paperwork issue

Where do you get a gadget like that from

Did your father train as a mechanic in a tractor garage and did he bring all his tools over to France 👍

Good video Laura question is that super dextra in going order 🤠

don't you burn the horns of the little calves? It would be less painful for the cattle and less embarrassing for you

Did you sell the farm back home, do ye lease this farm or buy

You have the same music intro as South Saskatchewan farmer Lol

Would you move back to ireland

Would ya say farming in France is good place to go if want to have bigger farm . You going doing holiday rents

Hello from Ireland that dehorning tool is an impressive piece of kit, would you have dimensions for making it ?

When and why did ye leave Ireland for to farm in France and was it a hard decision to make ps like the chanal

Do you sell wholesale cows?

Great weapon, and of course it must be done, horns are so dangerous.

💗😊😊🙏🙏👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪

Is that a super dexta in the barn

Get you a double polled black angus bull and you won't have to worry about those horns.

do you inject them first to numb the area

Could you get me a 40 series cab too?😂

Can you say how old you all are. Also what’s the best and worst about farming in France

that blade on the grinder is not the normal one i take it .........

this is why u dehorn when they are about 2 weeks old. u put them to slepp and burn the stubs and nerves! this is kinda animal abuse

👍🇺🇦

these solars for what, because I don't understand English well

It’s a horrible job it has to be done . Great vlog

Thats cruel...they should be done as very young calves.

Abit crude with the angle grinder

Please can I have horn

Could you introduce yourselfs in french

a situation est très mauvaise en france. je pense qu'en france il n'y a pas de problème dans l'agriculture il y a midi, c'est très dur. peut-être que vous ne prenez pas l'idée de vous suicider, la vie est très dure. comment vous aider dans votre ferme. vous devez être fort dans la vie. pas de vous tuer. peut-être que vous avez vu le problème du suicide agricole. vous avez tout ce que la concurrence est grande en france les gens se suicident

Video quality not great,, but the content is fantastic.. You need to invest in better camera,, too much glare, and NO subtitles again. 👍😭😭
