Designed by a veterinarian who’s done the job
During a practical class at Massey University’s Large Animal Teaching Unit (LATU), Associate Professor Kevin Lawrence challenged me to come up with a better way to dehorn cattle — a procedure that is physically demanding, time-consuming, and often inconsistent.
The Soletech Dehorner was developed to solve that problem — creating a faster, more controlled, and more efficient way to perform the procedure.
Common questions
Is it difficult to learn?
No — the tool is simple and intuitive to use, with most vets comfortable after their first use.
Is it safe?
The controlled cutting motion and focused cautery allow for a clean, controlled procedure.
Is it worth the investment?
Faster procedures and reduced physical strain make it a practical addition to any large animal practice.
