Dehorning Crates

alderdeer · 2011-03-16 11:53:26

Im looking at buying a dehorning cate and im looking for any suggestions as whether to go for the ones with a strap to keep calfs head in place or the ones with a ring to push the nose into. i see some have front openings for releasing the calf and others have to be pushed back. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks.
