Hi everyone, I have been reading your posts the last few days and must say I have managed to gain some insight. We are picking up our first goats tomorrow, two 4 month old Nigerian Dwarf wethers. I am excited and nervous about this. I would like to know if any of you have any tips to make the settling in process easier, ideas of things I should definitely have on hand?
The only part that concerns me about these boys is that the owner did try to disbud them, but they are both growing horns back. I am not sure how much of an issue this will be for them/us in the future. I have read online about banding and about surgical removal and some of the articles made both seem traumatic and dangerous. I don't want to do anything that will hurt them.
