I can remember wearing a motorcycle helmet with a face shield to milk
goats because some horns looked hazardous to my eyes if the goat turned
its head. I was also wary of getting poked in the abdomen while
catching goats in a pen.

Dehorning may be injure an animal, and horns may grow back. Besides,
horns can discourage menacing dogs. A horn that was no sharper than a
broomstick would be less hazardous. Could this tool have been to remove
the point from the horn of a kid or calf?
