RE: electric fence and horn growth.
You just gave me a "Nasty" idea.
When I put up the the electric fence test area I will just glue some foil conductive strips to their horns all the way down to the skin line . with the horny boys horns will be the first contact point "ZAP"
A little Super glue and a strip of copper or aluminum foil as a conductor down to the base of the horn and the goat gets "Elto-Shock" therapy to stay away from fence and you can tell the goats it is Bling to make them look better.
But they do it to them self goat will learn fast NOT to get near fence.
One draw back would be they will make good lighting attractors in open country.
So if that happens, you have roasted goat for a few days. Not likely here lots of tall trees to take the hit first.
Happy Trails
