Should you dehorn / disbud your goat?

- We do not disbud/dehorn our goats and believe that they don't pose a danger to humans or other animals if raised in the right environment. Over the last 20 years we have never had any issues with horned animals injuring themselves or humans. We feel that it is important that they have a large amount of space and the type of fencing can play a huge role with causing problems. When choosing fencing make sure that the openings are small enough not to allow their head to get through. Most of our property is electric that is slowly being replaced with Stucco Wire permanent fencing.

I think it’s so cute the way You and Tara both say”ehh” when speaking to the animals.😁 Y’all probably don’t even realize y’all usually say it. I smile every time.🥰
Nope, we Y'all don't 😁
5:14 These two perfect little furballs are very affectionate towards DAD. Freakin adorable...
Love my kids 💕
@@The10AcreWoods A baby goat video appeared in my feed a few months ago (I have no connection in any way, shape, or form with goats/livestock), and Ive become completely enamored with these little guys. Watching them bounce and hop around while practicing "butting heads (adorable)" is truly a joy. They truly are quentessential examples of pure innocence, jubilation, and excited curiosity.
Just an idea, other similar channels rake in tons of views just videoing the kids playing (hopping, jumping around with one another). Good luck and good health to you and your extended furry family.
Never a dull moment with baby goats running around. So cute. I couldn’t stop smiling.
The best!
I have Nigerian dwarf goats and all of mine both male and female have their horns. I think the horns are beautiful and useful for all the reasons you listed. They used to cut the ears of certain breeds of dogs just because that was what they had always done. Glad that stopped.
Yes, Nature does not mess up, so embrace it.
Great video. Baby goats playing is just too cute. The energy. Sad to hear those people did dehorn.
Their playing never gets old 😍
Loved watching the baby goats 🐐 playing, running around and jumping 😍❤
The best!
It's always a highlight of my weekend (even though I'm watching this Tuesday morning at 3am) to see your videos. Had a fall the other day so am a bit behind - oh well, it gives me something to watch as I'm stuck lying in bed the majority of the day!
Have a happy, healthy week!
Heather🇨🇦
Awesome video 😻
Thanks Mark and Tara! Enjoying the videos. Love the shorts idea too! Have an awesome week!
You too Susan 😊
Thanks for the informative video. The kids are so lively it's great to see them having fun
. I guess when adult goats break their horns they don't grow back at all. Levi and the other ponies are so friendly and really fluffy this year. The alpacas and sheep will definitely be ready for shearing in the summer. Tyr has it made with a lovely home and lots of friends. I've never heard of terms used for a bunch of cats. Have a wonderful week 🐐🐑🐓🐱🐴
Thanks Daphne, the ponies will be shedding in the weeks to come and is probably why I was covered in hair, lol.
Excellent information! Thanks for sharing. I personally don't dehorn mine either. I feel it is unethical to dehorn and leave them the way that they where naturally born.
You are very welcome 😊
I think they're precious either way, with or without horns! Of course I'd prefer them to be born without them than have them taken off...I just couldn't do it or have it done, personally...
We also prefer to leave as natural as posible
Loved the informative videooo !! The baby goats are so stinking cute and they are growing up so fast ❤💖🥺😁😌😌😌
I know!!
I just love your channel and I love the way your and your wife and daughter interact with your animals. Your so kind and so loving with them. How do you and your family decide on who names the animals? Also thanks for the information on the the horns. I have been an animal lover since I was around 5 yrs old and I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and we could not afford to have pets then. Did not get pet til 1969 when I was almost 23 (a small pomeranian puppy). I only have parakeets and a cockatiel now and I am up in age almost 75 so I live vicariously through animal videos. My favorite animal is the panda bear but next to that are the Nigerian goats. Love hearing your Canadian accents too when you say "about" and "out" and eh!. I have been to to Montreal and British Columbia and Niagara Falls on the Canadian side way before we needed passports.
Happy to hear you enjoy the videos. Those Canadian tag words, eh? 😊
@@The10AcreWoods I wanted to ask how do you and your family pick the names of the animals you have on 10 acres. I love the names.
We asked our viewers and followers for name ideas and then decide from there. Sometimes like in the instance of the kid goats, they are named by their new owners.
@@The10AcreWoods Thanks so much:)
🦅 QUESTION ? DID YOU DO A TIME LAPSE WHILE THE KIDS WENT ZOOMY? IF Y'ALL DIDN'T, THE KIDS HAVE SOME SERIOUS ZOOMING SESSIONS.. NO WONDER THEY CAN FLY AND REVERSE THEIR DIRECTIONS IN MID AIR. IT IS REALLY PRECIOUS TO WATCH THE FUR-KIDS INTERACTING WITH Y'ALL. MY FAVORITE "QUIET" ONES ARE THE ALPACCAS. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE. 🦅
That was all in real time, they do get the zoomies 😁
I watch a few goat channels and Nigerian dwarfs are diss budded as a show requirement.
But oh baby goats are just the cutest!! ❤️❤️ how is Poopitz doing in new home??
It's been a bit since we got an update but she was doing fantastic last time we checked 😊🐇
I like a herd of cats😺
LOL us too
👍HI MARK TARA TIANA AND THE REST OF THE CREW AT THE 10 ACRE WOODS🐷🐑🐣🐰🐓🐴🐑
Hi 🙋♂️
love the video mark very informational can you do a video on chicken and chick care please and thank you
We are planning on getting a new nest box with roll away egg compartments, that will be a good time 👍
@@The10AcreWoods yes that would be great
Best option if you don’t want horns is to nerf them. Cover them with pool noodles. Or put tennis balls on the tips!
Yes, I have seen the Nerf Horned Goat, lol
I have a female Alpine Nubian cross I picked up last spring. I started out looking for a bottle baby lamb and of course I ended up with a milking goat 3 years ( ish ) probably more like 5 years old 😂 she was great for a couple weeks then she started to head butt me ? So I first made a loud noise to warn her but on the third time I slapped her nose, not hard but enough to make her pull back, haven't had a problem since. We take her for walks and she is great with the grand kids. Always the first to the fence. I guess she was testing her boundary's / pecking order 🤷♀️

Absolutely, testing and you handled it right.
Where was Moira Sheldon and onyx when the mama goats and the kids went in the very front pasture where you guys do goat yoga
They are seen at 18:39 The mama's and kids don't go into the front pasture and will currently stay in the smaller area until the kids get a little bigger, then go into the back pond area.
I could watch those baby goats all day. I wouldn't get anything done that is for sure. LOL
I know what you mean 🥰
I guess the animals think of stale hay the way humans think of stale bread!!! Only good to make into toast or croutons!!!!🤔😂 Stay safe guys!!!!
Yes, reach past the fist few slices 😁
I watch a few people on RUclips who do dishorn their goats I would not own a goat with horns.
Yes there are quite a few farms that do disbud and is usually about comfort levels and making sure its done properly.
Dehorning/disbudding should be left up to the owner.
Yes with all the information to best fit the animals needs.
hello I think there is a tick on the white alpaca on the hind leg 2:50 in maybe it is looks like one
That would be a pretty big tick, lol. It's actually pigeon poop 🙄
@@The10AcreWoods oh wasnt sure where do you guys get your hay from?
We have a couple local sources we have had for years.
If only their energy could be bottled 😉
Yes, that much energy in such a small package 😊🐐
Well, I do not completely agree on your goat story. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence and although my goats have more than five acres during the winter, they jump fences or push them down when the electricity is off. Even a fence of 1,80 meter or 5'10 feet is jumped by some of them without touching it.
Yes, I can understand as we currently only have Pygmy goats. Tara and I have discussed installing 8' fencing but have decided that 5' fencing with the option to add 3' later if need be is the plan. My guess is you have larger goats.
What are you going to do when Maggie Toby and atlas die I’m sorry to say that
We will deal with it when the time comes, live in the now.
You can burn / disbud scurs at any age. Its just easier to get them while younger and less strong. You are also incorrect about horns being used for thermal regulation. Size/material/flow are the key to exchanging temperature. And goat horns dont provide any of that. The size of horns are not large enough for the overall body mass of a goat. The material (keratin) of the horn is on its basic level hair. Hair is not an exchanger but an insulator. Lastly flow. You need something to flow through the horns to transfer temperature. Blood does flow through a horn but at a super small amount and not in a quick enough manner. Having horns or not is a personal choice, but at least be informed and do what you need for your own farm but dont make excuses for why. The biggest reason I see most people keep the horns is because they think its cruel. The next cause is the inability to disbud. On the flip side, people disbud for 2 main reasons. In order to register and show your goat, they must be disbudded. The second is indeed safety. Its not just safety for other goats but for themselves and humans as well. Goats are jerks and love to find ways to get their horns stuck in fences.

No Excuses. We find nature does not make mistakes, usually due to human error are where things arise. Everything in Nature has a purpose. Provided an awesome link below. We focus on what is best for the animals not human choices or emotions. We think it is cruel, kinda like cauterising your fingernails so you can not scratch someone. That said there are varying opinions on it. If concerned about safety then should learn more before getting goats. It is actually safer to have horns than not, and they can be trimmed instead of budded which is not cruel( like cutting your fingernails) Goats are amazing, and when you understand there needs, then you can adapt there environment to accomodate behaviors. I hope the link below helps.
