Sand The Top Of The HornThe top of your sawed-off horn will probably be pretty rough, so you will want to sand it. Use regular sandpaper, the type you would choose to sand wood, and sand the top of your horn until it is smooth. Horn sands easily, so don't apply a lot of force or you could easily sand off more than you want to. To do the best job sanding, treat your horn the way you would a piece of wood: Start with coarse sandpaper, then graduate to medium, then fine, then steel wool. Each step (coarse, medium, etc.) will go quickly. Be careful not to over sand!

Buyers will frequently send horned cattle to the vet to have their horns removed before they take them home. Wear rubber gloves and take along a plastic, sealable baggie because these will be fresh horns with bloody, fleshy linings. To remove this inner lining you will need to allow the horns outdoor time in full sun, with free access by insects but protected by predators, until you are left with a clean horn shell inside and out. Caution: There is always a chance that the freshly removed horn could be carrying disease. Handle at your own risk. |
