They're Here!

I feel the same Nanno. I had never been around goats with horns. Starting out on a commercial dairy goat farm. So when it came my time to have a packer, I of course chose to keep the horns. I wish I had not now. Legion isnt mean with them, cept to other goats and even then, its more of a "lets play" kinda thing. He is just now two so not unexpected. But he knows he has them and uses them. I dont like it. Come feeding time he knocks on his gate. If you go inside the barn and leave him outside, he knocks on the door with his horn. Lots of dents on it. I have see him butt his shelter, horse panels and a few other things. If I let him out with the does, I have to stand right next to him cause he will flick his horns at them if they get to close and he is in the mood to. Around people, I know he wouldnt do it on purpose but you get people he isnt used to around him and they dont move right and he gets spooked, he could send a horn into a bad place.

Some good things is, I taught him to present to dogs. Which he doesnt very well with little fear. Cept for a black english bulldog. He was creeped out by the look of it even before it got close But as least he can defend himself vs a dog.

But if I could go back, Id remove them. So much so I am thinking I will not keep my prospect pick for this year as he has horns. I just dont wanna deal with them.
