Overrun with beasties
That's what I think I have 3 bucks and they all have there horns gives them there character so I would have to disagree ....
Well I'm sorry but I guess it depends on the goat mine are fine with them yourself might not be to each there own have a good day
I love the look of the horns but I have learned with our mini Nubian. He thinks he can do anything with those horns poking the other goats, putting his horns in our other goats collars. We came home one day to find him thrashing him self in the fence my dad thinks that he would have fought him self to death. All of our milkers and buck are dehorned besides the mini. I have heard that Meat goats such as the Kiko are pretty safe with there horns is this true?
We learnTheir horns grow differently... they spiral out and to the sides (males mostly) we do leave theirs on. BUT they do get hung up sometimes and if one decides a fence looks good it will shred it in a minute. It is hard to deal with a 200-300 pound animal caught in something... they are stressed and heaavy. NO dairy goat will have horns ever on my farm again.
Our Nigerian doe took her head and flung it at one of our geese and tore her throat open.
I think horns are pretty but like @OneFineAcre said ... I evolved in my thinking... and I did sadly it was through far too many bad things happening. None of the goats have ever been mean to us with them just too many issues.
I have a picture of Millie's "spears" on here on one of my articles.... which BTW i need to update.
