    We disbudded two doelings. Got a good result on three of the four horns. Is it OK to re-burn the one that's growing in the middle of the bud?

    We re-burned a buckling last year that had scurs on each side that came up outside and to the back of the original burn area. The re-burn did the job.

    I was thinking unicorn myself :rofl

    I agree with re-burning, just keep an eye on her.. sometimes when they're older, it tends to hurt more (?) so you may want to keep the Banamine ready.
