Okay, I found the pic in the first post. But, could you explain the above for me? What is Herme's? What do you mean by "it looks female"? You haven't been able to get close enough to it or what? Sorry, but I'm learning about goats as the forum grows.
I'm sure other goat people knew what you meant. Not sure why you would want her to have horns. Personally, if I had a goat, I wouldn't want the horns. Maybe it's from being around the cows to much and know what their horns can do. 
I would think that goat horns could be dangerous too?
You are right a goat with horns can be dangerous. A goat without horns is also dangerous. Being hit by a goat head is like being hit with a brick with fur. Tina got a concussion a few weeks ago from a hornless doe. They both put their heads in the same place at the same time. Tina Lost. If she would have had horns, Tina might not have been as complacent, or that is what I tell my self. When we milk does with horns we have positive control of the horns at all times. It is like having a kitchen knife to me (as in strictly my opinion). I am not going to hand a child a kitchen kniife, nor will I let one inside an enclosure with horned goats. I just wanted her to have horns so I would know for sure that she is really a girl right off the bat. We have a polled buck that I bought yesterday that will be banded and hand tamed and hopefully sold to a family (w/kids).Farmer Kitty said:Personally, if I had a goat, I wouldn't want the horns.

I'm glad Tina only got a concussion. I'm assuming she is doing better now?Griffin's Ark said:You are right a goat with horns can be dangerous. A goat without horns is also dangerous.
