Use a cauterizer that you can buy from your local large animal veterinarian. Make sure you have access to an electrical outlet so you can plug in the cauterizer and get it heated up so that it's red-hot. Put the cow in a squeeze chute and head gate so she can't move around. Put a halter on her to stabilize her head so she isn't throwing it around when you try to take the horns off. If you must, apply a local anaesthetic to the area of the horn first before you cut them off to lessen the pain.

Apply the hot cauterizer immediately after you have cut the horns off, holding the tip of the cauterizer to the wound for 2 to 3 seconds, making sure you burn all parts of the wound.
