The future of dehorning...
“The Soletech Dehorner is the future of dehorning. It’s incredibly efficient and user-friendly—hands down the easiest dehorning I’ve ever done in my life. In today’s veterinary landscape, where we’re seeing a shift toward a more diverse workforce, tools like this are essential. It’s not just about getting the job done; it’s about making the job safer and more accessible for everyone on the team. I have no doubt this tool will quickly become indispensable in vet practices across New Zealand.”

Minimal physical effort...
“The Soletech Dehorner is a handy, easy-to-use device for dehorning those cattle that have missed disbudding or dehorning as young calves. I’ve selected strongly for polled genetics in my own herd of Simmental/Belmont Red/Brangus cattle, but inevitably, a few yearlings sneak through with horns. This year, I used the Soletech Dehorner on some well-restrained animals after administering local anaesthetic. The horns were removed quickly, with no blood or obvious pain. More importantly for me as the operator, there was minimal physical effort.”

a greater degree of cautery...
"I had the pleasure of putting the Soletech dehorner through its paces recently and was very impressed with how it performed. The Dehorner efficiently cuts through horn using embryotomy wire with minimal effort from the operator. The main advantages I found compared to alternative methods such as a sabre saw or loppers were 1. less brute strength required, 2. the ability to adjust position while cutting and 3. the dehorner provides a greater degree of cautery."
— Dr. Scott Hawkins, Vetlife Twizel
This saw is fantastic...
“This saw is fantastic. I had the chance to work with David and the prototype. My concern was there wouldn't be enough travel for the wire and it would go blunt too quickly. No issues. Pride would say I can beat it for a few horns speed wise. Experience says why bother.”
— Dr. Garth Riddle, Bay of Islands Veterinary Services
as easy as slicing through butter...
“With the Soletech dehorner, dehorning is as easy as slicing through butter! It maintains its effortless precision from the first horn to the twentieth. What used to be a gruelling, backbreaking job is now a breeze with just the press of a trigger. In my view, it’s a win-win for everyone involved: happier cows, farmers, and vets.”
— Dr. Darius Tan, Clutha Vets Animal Health Centre
superior haemostasis...
"The Soletech Dehorner is a revolutionary piece of equipment that offers unparalleled efficiency and effectiveness for dehorning. It provides superior haemostasis and handles even the most difficult shaped horns with ease. Say goodbye to the blood, sweat, and tears; this tool makes the process smoother and safer for both the operator and the animals."
