Agri Health Barnes Dehorner with Metal Handles
The Agri Health Barnes Dehorner is a traditional scoop-style dehorning tool for young cattle, built with metal handles for a firm, controlled grip. It is intended for trained, competent stockpeople working on farms, smallholdings and livestock yards.
The tool uses the long-established Barnes pattern: two curved scoops that open and close as the handles are worked. Size refers to the handle length, so you can match the tool to the stock you handle and the leverage you prefer.
