My doe's horns are regrowing!!

[ALEXthegoat]

I've had my doe for almost two years, she came to me dehorned, and her horns are regrowing! one is twisted and basicallt, touching her head. what should i do??

It sounds like scurs are growing. You can trim them. Or if they are big enough, you could band it.

how do i trim them without making her bleed? and how do you band them?

is this a good method?

Bands on the horns are fine. You need to file some notches in the horn by the skin so the bands stay on.

I"ve never trimmed horns so I don't know. I think if you just trim a little at a time.

I kept hearing about banding the horns...they will eventually fall off. I have seen pictures of the banding but never pictures of the head afterward. Also, will the horns grow back? It seems that 'scurs' do and that it is not an one time banding deal either.

I have a goat that I banded the horns, so I guess I will find out when they finally fall off. Since I have never banded before, I have no idea if they grow back or what the head looks like afterwards.
