Hi all. I went out to do evening chores tonight and didn't notice too much out of place. I was getting ready to milk my girl Comet (Oberhasli) and as I turned to move her to the milk stancion, I noticed one of her horns was gone!!! She has scurs from when she was disbudded as a kid. The horn that broke off was the same one that broke when she was younger as well. The break seems to have happened right at the base of her skull and there is a little horn growing (it's about 2 inches). Now, there was blood....but not puddles. She was very alert and ready to eat. I disinfected to wound (which upset her more than the would its self I think!) and carried on with my chores as usual. Has this happened to anyone else? I have never heard of goats losing their horns but this was such a clean break that it seems that's what happened! I'll post pictures tomorrow as it was too dark to get any this evening. Thanks!
