Calf DisbuddingWe take immense pride in the efficient and quality manner in which we disbud over 40,000 calves annually pain-free. Calf disbudding is completed under sedation and local anaesthetic from two weeks old. For the best results, we prefer to disbud calves at <6 weeks of age. After this, it can lead to handling challenges and less effective cauterising. We offer our clients a service saving you time and resources, at one of the busiest times of the year. Sedation100% of calves are disbudded under sedation. Our vet will come on-farm to sedate and monitor the calves. We aim for a pain and stress-free procedure. We sedate and administer a local anaesthetic before the horns are removed. For maximised efficiency, our team will vaccinate with 6-in-1, give extra pain relief and check for extra teats. You are able to ear tag, or complete DNA Testing all while the calves sleep. What you should know:Calves need to be older than two weeks old to ensure it is safe to sedate them.
