    Waaay too big to steer now. Would cost quite a bit for the vet to do it.

    Can't send to the works. Trucks won't take them with those horns. At that age its an expensive exercise to get the horns removed by a vet.

    And you would need a crush to put them in to do those jobs. A strong crush I suggest.

    Much easier to shoot them in the paddock and have them home killed.

    A back of the fag packet calculation: I would reckon you would be up for at least $500 to get a vet to come out and do all that.
