My buyers decide if they want them disbudded. I haven't had one who didn't want them disbudded yet. It is required to disbud if you want to participate in shows with your goats. I have three with horns. All the others I purchased without. I have had a few close encounters with my youngest who is still short(currently 6), he almost was gouged in the face. It wasn't from aggression, just goats being goats. I've also seen one of my does with horns head butt hard enough to cause another to miscarriage triplets. You could argue that this could happen without the horn, but the points are "just so" that the impact was more concentrated, you get displacement with non horned head butts. I've also seen a lot of people have horned goats die in ways you'd never think because of the horns getting caught on things. Our doe who used to require regular saving(sometimes multiple times per day, thank goodness we had double fencing so nothing could attack her head while she was stuck) passed away last Christmas of milk fever, so those left aren't likely to get caught. The horned ones are difficult to get into the milk stand as well, and once they're there, giving oral medication becomes a cautious battle with the forked horned does. Over two years I've gone from horrified over the procedure to understanding. If they're out in the wild they do not have the issues in captivity. The kids fuss the same amount over the shaving of the hair as when you burn the buds, and it is over in less than sixty seconds. They nurse their mother and act like it never happened most of the time. I've only had one out of almost thirty who acted like it bothered her after I finished, and I think it's because she's a great deal more intelligent than any other goat we have had. Anyway, I prefer the look of goats with horns But I appreciate why many prefer to have them removed. And it makes keeping them a lot easier, both for their well being and mine.
