Dehorning & Elastrating

We are pleased to announce the return of the original Hoegger kid holding stall.  First designed and manufactured in the 1940s by the founder of Hoegger Supply, Joe Hoegger.  This extremely handy and functional holding stall makes it easy to disbud, medicate, give injections, and tattoo your kid goats.  Adjustable restraints keeps the kid where you want them.  Hand crafted right here in Georgia.  Predrilled holes make assembly a breeze.

This kid box is a great size for holding newborn to 1-month-old kids. The enclosed box design allows disbudding and tattooing by one person. Features a headpiece that provides you full control and a broad base for safely supporting your hand and securing the kid’s head during disbudding. The headpiece is predrilled and must be attached to the box. Choose size: Regular Pygmy/Dwarf   *** Wood may vary depending on availability. 

Regular - Dimensions: 16” H x 7” W x 24” L. 

Pygmy/Dwarf - 10 3/4 H x 6 W x 16 L

Here’s the same great headpiece that we use on our Kid Box along with step-by-step detailed instructions for building a simple holding box. The headpiece is Mr. Hoegger’s own design. It provides you full control with a broad base for safely supporting your hand while securing the kid’s head during disbudding. A simple do-it-yourself project requiring only a minimum of materials and tools.

The regular 1/2" ID tip is for standard dairy and meat goat breeds. The 1/4" ID tip is perfect for mini breeds. Each dehorner comes with a 200-watt element and an 8' cord with a 3-prong plug and maintains a steady 900-950º F heat with quick recovery in seconds between applications. X30 tips are permanently installed and are not removable or interchangeable.

Chose 1/2" tip or 1/4" tip

Disbudding is always our first choice. However, there are situations when it becomes necessary to trim the horns of a goat. If their horns have become dangerously long where they could get caught in a fence or accidentally hurt a caregiver, you could use this saw to remove the ends of the horn. There is a living core inside the horn that when cut too short, can cause severe bleeding. To avoid cutting too short, cut in small increments. Keep Blood Stopper (#17C) on hand just in case.
