Dehorning Information-Knowledge is Power!
The most resilient model is the X-50. Both the X-40 and X-50 will hold up in a continuous run situation, but the X-50 will maintain the proper temperature needed for multiple dehorning in succession and should be recommended to your commercial or larger herd customers. The X-50 is thermostatically controlled and will withstand the vigorous demands that industrial farms put them through. An adapter tip is also available for this unit to make the head the same size as the X-30. This is suitable for Jersey cattle, because of their narrow skulls at the horn base, as well as goats. Most Holstein or other breeds will find the tip unnecessary.
The X-30 (11258) is made for smaller farm use; it is not intended for multiple dehorning in succession. The smaller head on the X-30 makes it perfect for goat dehorning, we also offer 1/4" (112581) and 3/8" (112582) tips for pigmy goats.
