Hopefully we're all wrong and none of them need to be disbudded and pictures will tell us so. Disbudding is a nasty business. No goat should have to have it twice if it can be avoided. Ouchie!
Disbudding look like they might be growing?

Ok, we’ll I got some pictures...forgot to get Suger...she’s in the other barn, and definitely needs redone because she was two months when it was done. So, she’ll be much trickier. I’m going to band my two goats with horns...perhaps I should let hers get about an inch and do that? I know both ways is painful for goats. But, I was hurt.. and I just can’t risk more injuries. Ok, here are some pictures....

The buds that look like the second from the bottom-flat-will probably not come back
The others with elevated tops appear to be growing in anyway, from what I can see.

You can also use fine ground black pepper. Just block the eyes from getting it in them...same as you would with the blood stop.
Never heard of disbudded horns getting infected....but anything is possible.
