Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Goat Owners-Dehorning Scurs
What method do you use to remove scurs on your goats? Or do you not unless they are penetrating into the head?

Depends. If you want them to have them, then just watch them, if they begin to curl cut them. Otherwise they can grow into the skull. Use a wire saw or Gigli saw.

Or if you have time and they arnt too long, you can band them. They will fall off in a few weeks of months depending on there size.

I twisted them off with my hand. A little blood not much. They were about a inch and a half. I read you could use pliers if they were pretty wobble. When I went to check them out, I wiggled them and they were really loss so I just yanked them quick.
