1. Normal: Remove Hornstop and mains power charger from package, plug charger into wall socket, and push the small plug into the Hornstop socket, midway along the housing. Note: the initial charge duration is 24 hours, and subsequent recharging requires approximately 30 minutes per dehorned calf. However, except when in use, the Hornstop should remain attached to the charger. Fully charged, the Hornstop can dehorn at least 15 calves before recharging is necessary (while in operation a fading of the LED light indicates a low charge status), provided that after multiple applications the battery is allowed sufficient recovery time (i.e minimum 5 minutes after 10 calves).
2. Rapid: As a limited alternative, for those who need to dehorn more than 15 calves in the same day, the Hornstop can be recharged via the supplied cigarette lighter adaptor (12 V/earth negative). Recharging in this manner requires approximately 6 minutes per dehorned calf. Note: To protect the long life of the Ni-Cad battery pack, not only should the initial charging never be performed in this way, but even temporary rapid recharging should be kept to a minimum (the adaptor and Hornstop will heat up). Neither should the Hornstop ever remain connected to this adaptor for longer than 30 minutes at any time (before reconnecting always wait until the cigarette lighter adaptor has cooled down completely.)
I was using this on an 80 cow dairy so it wasn't an issue with recharge time, we left it plugged in to 110v all the time.

Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
