When is it to late to disbud? We were holding a boy for someone who wanted horns and now it is going to somone who prefers no horns. The buds are about 3/4 of an inch long, from the skull.
Do you have pictures? Just an FYI for next time. If people want horns make them pay in full before pick up. Thats what I do. :wink:
I think we gotta leave em Bob. They are proportionally as big as a Boers would be and he is about 1 month old. from what I just tracked down they are officially "Horns" now and have the sinus cavity attached. It shouldn't be an issue tho as long as they grow like they should. If he wont hurt the girls NBD.
Most of our goats have horns and they have not been an issue. I like that we can grab them if we need to.
We don't allow horns here though since we have a lot of children that come to visit us, we usually have ours disbudded at 2-3 weeks old since that's when our vet does them now.
Bob, I got out the Dremel tool and started to grind away at the tops. I've done that and the horns don't grow nearly as long. Just a thought! Candy :sun:
