I banded my buck about a month and a half ago. It is flat and dried up but is still attached. Is the band not tight enough

Welcome,
It’s coming off but at this stage you need to watch for infection and fly strike. I’d check it for foul smells and /or pus then spray it with Catron IV or wound kote. I’ve had bucks take that long it’ll be over soon. it’ll just be gone and you’ll find it on the ground somewhere.

No problem 😊 this is a great group of folks. Enjoy browsing around the different threads.
Welcome to our goat kingdome. Where goats rule and humans are the surfs.
I would definately watch flies and infection.
All good advice.

Welcome. :)
