She should've been dehorned when she was a calf. But you can dehorn her anytime the process is not going to affect her performance, such as not right after calving.
A mature Beefmaster cow will weigh between 1300-1500 lbs with bulls weighing almost 2000 lbs.
Are you referring to a Beefmaster-Red Angus cross cow or either Beefmaster or Red Angus? If the former, a continental breed such as Limousin, Maine Anjou, Simmental or Charolais would be a good breed to put on this cross. If the latter, a good bull to put on a Beefmaster would likely be, once again, a Continental breed, or a distant British breed like Hereford. For Red Angus, you can't beat a Hereford over an RA to get a red-baldy.
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.
An average Beefmaster bull weighs between 1,800 to 2,200 pounds.

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.
Beefmaster is a breed of cattle developed in the United States for beef production. They are known for their hardiness, fertility, and adaptability to various climates. Beefmasters typically have a mix of Brahman, Hereford, and Shorthorn genetics.

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.
Beefmaster cattle can weigh between 1,100 to 1,600 pounds on average.
Not sure what you mean here, but when a bovine is dehorned, the horns don't grow back, especially if they were cut at the root and not an inch away from the skull. If the horns were cut only an inch away from the skull, they still will grow, but not normally like they would if they were not cut off.
It means that they were not dehorned well and you'll have to do it again.
