Instructions
Secure the goat's head on the stanchion. Clip the hair around the horn base.
File a notch around the horn as close to the head as possible. Wash the area with iodine to kill any germs and decrease the chance of infection.
Place a band on the castration tool and slide it over the horn into the notch.
Wrap and secure electrical tape around the band to keep it from sliding off the horn.
Check the horns regularly and replace bands as needed.
