dehorner
Cattle horn eliminator
A dehorner is a tool or device used to remove or prevent the growth of horns on livestock, especially cattle.
The term also refers to a person who performs this task.
Dehorning prevents injuries to other animals and handlers.
In older slang, dehorner meant cheap or adulterated whiskey—liquor with its "horns" (potency) removed.
