PortasolDehorner III Standard Dehorner III Standard Orange And Grey, Medium

Ordered this for my wife to use on her Nubian goats. She has previously been using an electric dehorning iron that gave out after a few years. I thought this one may be better since it's not tied to a cord or a propane tank and she tells me it heats up very fast and works flawlessly.

nice easy to use FLAMELESS device! Promptly put it to use the day after I bought it. it was about 19 degrees F, in the barn In the hour I used it I only refilled it one time. It heated up fast, stayed hot, and worked perfect, really excited about this tool esp. that there is no cord to fight with

I've been using Portasol dehorners for many years throughout vet school and after graduating. I've used them on calves and goats. Got a new one and it functions nicely- gets very hot very fast and is easy to use, service, and clean. I recently had to do 2 jersey calves, aged 2 weeks and 4 weeks. The smaller/younger calf had bigger buds and bony bumps already, but each of them maxed out the larger sized additional tip I purchased (18.5 mm) and while it did great at cauterizing and going through the outer skin ring, it REALLY struggled doing the final scoop to pop out the bud as a hole. It took 3x as long as it should and required a lot more force and contact time (neither of which I appreciate because the harder you have to apply pressure and longer you're doing the job, the much higher the chance of you slipping and burning yourself or the patient). Hoping it gets better with use, but I don't know what that would make a difference.

So easy to use. So easy on the calves. No problems. They healed up quickly and hardly seemed to mind the procedure. They recommend using an injectible anesthetic, but we followed the advice of a local dairyman and just did it. In the time it would have taken to administer the anesthetic, the whole thing was done, and seemingly without pain. Great product!

Love it! I use it for disbudding my goats(Nigerian Dwarf). Once hot it makes short work of an unpleasant job. I did order the larger tip to do my standard goats, and buck kids. It is light weight and no cords to mess around with. I reccomend it!

Piece of JUNK! Could not even get it started after filling with lighter fluid. Tried several times. Should NOT be so difficult to use! Returning it!

I recently made the jump from using an electric Rhinhart x50 to this butane disbudding iron, and I couldn't be happier. This iron is easy to use, lightweight, and burns hot and clean. So glad I made the switch!
