Cattle are dehorned primarily for safety reasons, both for the animals and for handlers. Horns can cause injuries during handling, transportation, or when animals interact with each other. Additionally, dehorning can reduce the risk of damage to facilities and equipment. It is also sometimes done to meet specific market requirements or to improve the overall welfare of the herd.
