You might want to check to see if there are any market fairs/rendezvous events near you - they generally have some vendors selling raw horns. I have purchased several very good horn blanks at such events...

Yes, this is correct. But in recent years the prices for raw horns has gone through the roof. I would rather make friends with a rancher, maybe even help him work is cattle for a day, and pick up fresh cut horns from the ground for free. And, it never hurts to make new friends. If the ranch is large you may even be invited to use his property for hunting. Resourcefulness can have many benefits.

Can anyone give a recommendation where to purchase a raw horn at?

Or, you could catch a cow and cut the horns off yerself. I'll sell ye a genuine antique dehorner. Still very good condition and works. :grin:
