No homesteader, farmer, or goat owner likes the process. But preventing horns from growing on your goat prevents a whole lot more troubles down the line for you.
There are 3 main reasons we don't want horns on our animals.
1 - Safety of our family and friends. Goats are animals that can not be completely trained. Even the nicest goat can panic in a scary situation and wind up hurting someone around it with it's horns. It is just safer for you, and your loved ones, if your goats don't have horns on their heads.
2- Safety of our other animals. People are not the only things goats with horns can hurt. Other livestock, including cows and horses, can injure themselves, or be injured by goat's horns.
3- Safety of the goat. Goats that live on a farm or homestead have to live within fencing. That means they are more likely to get their head caught in the fencing when sporting a pair of horns. This can be dangerous and even deadly! If a neighborhood dog finds your goat stuck in a fence, it could kill it.
The point is this, for You, Your animals, and Your goat's sake, a hornless goat is the right kind of goat.
