Anyone keep horned goats?

Well, when my goats were disbudded, they were disbudded improperly. As a result, they have scurs...So they have semi horns.

Is a 4 ft woven wire fence high enough to keep in a couple nigerian dwarfs? I want to do it all right the first time!!

It should work IF there is nothing near they fence they can climb on.
I'd prefer both woven wire and electric to be safer

I wanted horned, but the breeder removed them at birth.

The fence, IMO, doesn't need to be electric. At least not for me or mine. Presently, I have 5 Nigerians as well as chickens, and I love the fact theat they come up to the fence!

My nigerain dawarf goats have tiny little horns, but they're pointy! My pygmy has long horns but there dull. She can still do damage though!

What age is too old to castrate a goat? Im getting a second rescue goat and I dont want 2 boys living together. They are the same age, around 3 months old or so.

They can be castrated at any age, but when older, it's best to do it surgically.
You should be OK with banding at 3 months as long as you can get the band on
