You can trim the scurs back a bit with a pair of hoof trimmers, but be careful. Larger scurs can bleed quite a lot. Sometimes it's better if you just snip off the scur tips with the hoof trimmers then file the edges smooth rather than try to get them down close to the skull. The goats don't like it when you do this so they have to be well restrained so you don't accidentally trim too short or rip the scur. I have a couple of does who need their scurs trimmed from time to time because they get dangerously sharp if they grow too long.
