There is some question about the value of horns for protection.  Actually a
good  pair of LGDs would probably be much more effective. 

We disbud all kids and I am currently working with several lines of polled
goats.  I do not find horns advantageous in our situation.  However I am
quite fond of goats and by now have about 30 of them. http://oznayim.us/

Let's clarify this further...

What I meant by that statement....is that if you cut off it's horns then it
doesn't have the ability to ram trees, but that really should be a last
resort, as we're quite certain that goats horns can get damaged, and they
learn to use their horns in a more effective/productive manner such as
protecting themselves, and their herd.
