Where do you live that you don't see many boer goats with horns, around here all of them have horns. We have driven as far west as Indiana and the herds we went to all had horned goats, although I know the wethers often need to be dehorned for 4H projects.marliah said:awwwwcongratulations. Momma is pretty too, I like horned goats, dont see many boars with horns though.
I was wondering the same thing. Everyone here keeps the horns on their goats. There's a Boer farm around teh corner from me and there's a pasture with probably 100 horned Boers. I think goats look funny without their horns.20kidsonhill said:Where do you live that you don't see many boer goats with horns, around here all of them have horns.

Congratulations, he looks like a nice thick little buck. I am assuming buck, he just looks like it. for sure looks like he has a lot of boer in him.

It was a premeditated attack by a juvenile delinquent!
Thankfully, we caught the offender!
Here is a photo of the attacker. Note, the attacker was a bit younger in this photo.

I watched in shock as she trampled our LGD! Then she stood on top of her and stomped even more. Our LGD just layed there looking at me as if to say "Help!"
By the time I could get the camera it was all over. So no photos of the attack.
ETA: The LGD survived the attack.
