Do you stock (cattle) farmers do your own dehorning.
Or do you have some one in or just not bother, am investigating the possibility of providing a service to go to farms and do the dehorning. I appreciate most of you fellas on here are across the water but just wanted to gather a consensus on whether it would/could be worth presueing
Have done a few costings and about £1200 would see me set up with a decent one man system, crush gas iron , sharps etc, have found a college to get coursed up ( nice to have a certificate)
General feel in my part of the south west is there's a market, as many farms are 1 man or just don't have the time.
Any thoughts or comments
PS I am talking about young calves here not mental 5 - 6 month old suckler calves with a death wish for me..
