The horns will fall off but it looks like we didn't have ours close enough to the base of the skull. In our case they grew back. I have been told that was were we went wrong.
Hi, it does eventually fall off. BUT we haven't had great success getting them in the right location. From what we understand you must get the band at the very base of the skull/horn meeting spot if you don't in our experience it will just grow back. Our goats also have a nack for rubbing them until the bands break. Thank you very much for watching and commenting.
We no longer have those goats but what we found was the horns do eventually fall off as planned. In our case though we did find they started to grow back. I am not sure if we didn't have the band close enough to the skull? Others seem to have had success without the grow back.
We have been struggling with keeping the bands on and they have to be seated right at the base of the skull. I have seen others who have better success. We haven't had our goats from babies so they are very skittish with us. I think the ideal would be if you can put them in a stand lock. I have also seen where they do this with cattle.
We did not have the exact results we hoped for. It does work and we did lose a horn but because we didn't have the band seated at the base of the skull it just grew back. We find it very difficult to keep the bands in place with the type of horns we have. The other challenge is keeping the bands on, if they are not seated at the skull then the goats wear through the bands when they are sharpening their horns. Hope this helps.
@@simpleacrehomestead At other youtuber I saw that first they saw a groove at the base of the horns and then put elastic bands there. Probably it could work, but honestly I would prefer a natural horned goat, unless it starting acting up - then it'll become a hamburger.
Did the horns fall off?
@@Rebbecca1983 yes they do but in our experience they grew back. I am told that it's because I didn't get the band close enough to the skull.
WOW GREAT VIDEO VERY EDUCATIONAL
Thank you for watching, and we really appreciate the positive feed back.
Did the bands work for dehorning?@@simpleacrehomestead

I had no idea you could band goat horns 😮

@@naturewatcher7596 I think that groove is the key to success. We haven’t pursued it any further to prove it out.
