BIXBY, Okla. — The Buckmans at Post Oak Ranch run as many as 175 Spanish does bred to Kiko bucks on open pasture and brush.
They need to work efficiently when handling the goats during worming, vaccinations or when simply checking the color of a goat’s eyelids using a modified Famancha method.
Though horned goats do sometimes get stuck in fences, the Buckmans prefer working with horned goats with because horns are easier to grab than ears and there’s less chance an ear tag will pull out.
In this post, Steve Buckman offers more reasons why his family prefers horned goat, including some information about a horned doe who trained the ranch’s Anatolians not to get to closes to her and her kids.
