Would be interested to hear from anyone who might have had experience using elastrator rings to de-horn Dexters. I'd like to know how susseccfeul it was, and at what age (or horn length) it would be best to do it at.
Thanks
Phil

TOTALLY INAPROPRIATE METHOD. dO NOT DO THIS.
Quite apart from the fact that the ring will only kill off the horn beyond the ring, and the rest will grow into an ugly stump, this causes a long period of suffering and is about the most disgraceful way of doing the job.
