No. Of course, it also depends on your definition of "processing," whether you're referring to slaughter or running cattle through a chute to be vaccinated, dewormed, dehorned and/or castrated.
Polled cattle are those that are born without any buds that grow into horns. Instead they have in the middle of the top of their heads a knobby area that is called a poll, thus the reason that hornless cattle are called "polled." Polled is a genetic trait that is used in a lot of cattle today, and is a trait to be taken advantage of when the offspring has a horned sire or dam.
Yes. Dehorning older cattle leaves an opening to the sinus cavity. This may become infected if bacteria enter this hole. Luckily this is easily treatable with antibiotics.
Caustic paste is used for dehorning calves, not cows. If a cow was dehorned, a dehorner (a tool used to dehorn cattle) is used, then an iodine solution or a hot-iron is used to stop the bleeding.
Yes especially if they are injured, or dehorned or castrated. Note it is only the bulls that get castrated, not cows. Thus it is much easier to say that cattle do bleed if wounds that break their skin are inflicted on them.
The process is called breeding.
They are raised on either family farms or feedlots.
It is the process of breeding and raising cattle for the purpose of meat production.
The growing or life cycle of cattle is very simple as it compares to geography. This process is important in understanding which areas are most suitable for cattle life.
these were called cattle drives.
Dairy reproduction is the breeding and milking process of dairy cattle for the purpose of milk production.
It is known as calving.
