LVR Livestock Brands helps ranchers keep their herds safe with tools like our electric dehorner for cattle, goats and sheep. These dehorners cauterize the blood vessels below the hair ring around horn buds, stopping blood flow to the horn cells and preventing them from growing. This means there’s less chance of animals hurting each other. Dehorner sizes range from 5/8” to 1 3/8”, giving ranchers options to suit their herds. All our livestock tools are made right here in the United States, meaning you can trust what we provide to be of high quality and our service to be highly responsive to your needs.
These tools are preferred by many ranchers over cutting or gouging because they result in less pain, stress and infection risk for the livestock in general, it’s recommended that dehorning be performed on small calves and kids younger than three months old, as this means the process will have the best chance of being effective. After dehorning, it typically takes between four to size weeks for the horn buttons to be shed.

Why Electric Dehorning Is Safer for Cattle — Welfare, Best Age, and Application Tips
When performed early enough in the animal’s life, electric dehorning is less painful, lower-stress method for removing horns quickly and easily. In general, it is recommended that animals be dehorned within the first month for goats or first two months for cattle. The various tip sizes mean it’s easy to choose the tool that provides the best results for each type of animal. For example, our goat dehorners also work well on very young calves.
The cauterizing action of the tool also prevents blood loss and seals the wound effectively to lower the risk of infection. Electric dehorners provide fast, safe, and low-stress dehorning, especially when compared to other methods. For example, dehorning paste can result in chemical burns and slower healing, and banging or gouging leads to more bleeding as well as higher risk of infection.
The speed, convenience and versatility of these tools across different types of livestock makes LVR’s tools the best way to ensure animals don’t injure each other in close quarters.
