Disbudding/Dehorning

We disbudded our 4 kids at one week of age. At two months of age, one buckling has a two inch horn. The other three each have 1/2 inch horn starting. What's a good way to remove these? I know, worst case, I can take them to a vet to cut off. Any other ideas? Thanks. We have two months until fair showing.

Hi Mary... I use a pair of hoof trimmers to cut off any re-growth scurs and re-burn afterwards. You might try that. :)patty
