[Jacob-list] horn products

According to the article:
"Nechami Minkowicz, the rabbi's wife, assured participants that the animals are not killed for their horns. The shorn horns naturally regenerate."

Does that sound right to anyone?  Judging by the diameter of the horns in the pictures, it would seem to be a rather painful and involved process to "shear" horns that size.
