Oakley is female and we get all the girls disbudded so they can show and fit into people's hornless dairy herds. We don't want any of our girls going for meat just because they have horns and we feel that disbudding gives them the best chance for finding good homes. Since packgoat people are half-and-half on the horns issue, we leave the boys' horns intact. Besides, boys can be hard to disbud without getting scurs, and I find that scurs are in many ways worse than horns.
