this is a spur that you can keep trimmed with a wire saw. we have one like that that we have cut back only enough to keep it from growing into the skull. you vet can take it back more if she is a show goat, but we trim hers back about once a year.
Curling horn after disbudding
Our goats all had their horns disbudded as babies. 3 out of 4 are growing 1-2 inch small horns which I don't think is majorly uncommon. Anyhow, one of my girls has us a little worried. The horn piece that's growing is curling toward her head. What should we do?? Of course, we don't want to clip/trim it ourselves because I know they can bleed. Should I maybe consider calling a vet??

You're welcome! I have had to do re-burns or take them back to the person who initially did it. Vet is going to cost an arm & a leg.
