How to Use
- If you prefer/need the larger cattle tip, make sure the unit is unplugged and has cooled down Warning—temperature can exceed 1000˚ F. To remove the tip, hold it with a tool or your hand and unscrew the bolt and washer located on the underside.
- The lever on the dehorner should remain at "D" for all dehorning. The "S" is for those that have the tip for soldering.
- Allow 10 - 12 minutes for the dehorner to heat up before using. Apply to the horn base for approximately 10 seconds. For more detailed instructions, reference Rhinehart's directions.
Precautions
- Tip is very very hot. DO NOT TOUCH.
- Works best on kid goats that are about 3 days old. Use when the horn nub is barely there.
- Make sure the animal is held so it cannot move its head during burning.
Troubleshooting
Make sure the lever is set on "D" for dehorning. Not "S" for soldering.

I was very pleased with the quality and ease of use of the Rhinehart 50A dehorner. I used in on my young goats and the outcome was what I would want.

Worked great.

It heats up fast and works well. If I could change anything about the product, it would have all the optional tips with it so we'd have other options without ordering them separately. I disbuded my boer goats at 2-3 weeks and I was wondering if another tip might have done a better job. To find out I'll have to order it separately.

We haven't used this dehorner yet. But heats up fairly fast and is just as described

This did a great job! It heated up fast and was easy to handle. Price was amazing since the local stores wanted $169 for the Rhinehart 30 model. The attached goat tip worked great for our Boer/Nubian cross kids.
