I know everyone has their own right to have horns or not have horns but I personally have had nothing but trouble with horns so now have a hornless herd. I am more into dairy animals so the horns are a real nuisance when trying to get a doe in a milk stanchion or have feeders through the fence to keep them from soiling it with their constant dropping berries! I even had disbudded my little 50% boer doeling. After that little sermonette I hope I didn't offend anyone. As I said in the beginning, each to his own as the old lady said as she kissed her cow! An old saying my mom always recited.
Gary, glad your doe is ok, and I wondered what happened to your three legger. Too bad after all that work amputating his leg.
