I'd definitely get a Vet to check Her out to be on the safe side,especially since she's having little one's.The Craziest thing i've personally witnessed with a Goat getting it's Horn knocked off,was a Guy i know had a few Sheep running with his Goat's.He had a Big Ol' Suffolk Buck Sheep & a Big Alpine/Togg' Cross Billy with a huge set of Horn's,and to say the least they didn't like each other so well.They usually stayed away from each other but one time i guess one of them hit a nerve on the other,and they started banging Head's.And anyone who know's Sheep know they get a running start and then hit Head's,and a Goat usually just's stand's up on his back leg's and comes down to hit.And i don't have to tell you which one has more Force behind them,i've been Hit by both and i would much rather get it by a Goat.Anyway after a couple of hit's that Buck Sheep knocked one of the Billy Goat's Horn's almost off,it was hanging straight down and the only thing holding it on was a little piece of skin.We just happened to go out to the Barn right after it happened,and he was looking pretty rough it was a heck of a sight.He called the Vet and had him come out to fix him up,he bandaged him up & got the Bleeding stopped.He healed up after a while and was fine,but he was the Funniest looking Billy Goat with just that one Big Horn sticking up.He ended up selling the Buck Sheep,and he kept the Billy.So we all started calling him Uni',short for Unicorn...
