Soft, Flat Scurs on Buck

[Tango]

Howdy ya'll. My buck Noaa is on his second set of soft flat scurs. They are about 1 1/2 inches and probably just 4-5 mm at the base. His first set, he scratched off. There was bleeding with each one but not so much and it stopped with corn starch. I thought that was it but now he has a 2nd set and he broke one off yesterday. There was a little more blood than before but again, stopped - this time with sulfa powder inside the slight cavity. So questions: will this be a regular ordeal? Could it get worse? Is there away to remove them permanently?
Thanks

Our Noble produces wobbly, soft scurs regularly. Sometimes he knocks them off. It does not appear to cause him or anyone else any problem...no infection ever, really no cavity that we can see. It is something we are aware of, but do not worry about as long as we see no infection. My opinion is that it is not a concern or worth having removed unless you see infection. Some boys just do and some don't.

my Alpine buck seems to grow them in the fall and shed them late winter. They usually aren't a problem unless they grow back into the head, ear or an eye. I disbud with a clover leaf pattern at 2 or 3 days if I intend to keep them as bucks. Sometimes still get scurs.

My Monkey gets the same seems to happen mostly during rutting season, no problem except that they bleed for a bit. His head butting buddy usually gets alot of blood on him which is gross. Thought about trying to cauterize but at this late stage don't think it would help. Dis-budding buck-lings seems to be an issue which is why I decided not to dis-bud Flash since his were already well grown.

Colonel grows scurs every few months, then head-butts the other goats so much they fall off and his head gets all bloody. It's never been a problem. How do goats have such tough heads???

GoatGirl, We used to ask ourselves that very same question about our sons? Actually, we still do ask ourselves that very same question about our sons! Maybe heredity??!
