Goat Horns

 


Are you a goat owner? If you have goats are your farm do you regularly trim their horns if they have them? Some goats don’t have horns or their horns don’t grow very long. Some goats have long horns that grow in such a way that they can hurt other goats or people. Trimming or removing goat horns can be a sensitive subject. It’s important to learn all you can about the procedures and consult your vet before making any type of decision. It’s also important to know that most horns are only removed if they are dangerous to the goat or others. Some owners do “disbud” their goats to prevent the horns from growing. It is ultimately the choice of the owner when it comes to goat horns. Some horns just need a trim to keep them from growing backwards into the goat’s neck or back. Talk to your pet clinic Derby to learn more.
