Yes. Both sexes do unless they are disbudded very early in life.
I'm a little foggy on the timing but it seems like Dad and I did it in their first week.

As my eleven year old granddaughter solomnly told me once, there is no such thing as a 'free' horse.
Yes, the goats look great and would be a great deal for someone who is set up for them, but you, Nyboy, are not. Therefore, that mere $25. per goat would run you far, far more than that before they had a happy, safe new home.
Covet some cheaper animals -- get chickens!

@Smart Red words of wisdom !!! I know I can't have goats at this point of my life. It is a great deal for someone who is set up, owner sounds like they really care about them want them in a good home. PS sounds like your granddaughter is as smart as you.

Yes @Smart Red I agree with @Nyboy Gypsy takes after her Grandma. ;)
I am not sure that would be a good thing. Here's what my Gypsy did yesterday.

This 12 year old went shopping -- resale shops of course -- and came home with her friend to get a little red wagon. Back 7 blocks through town to the store and home again with this carried carefully in her wagon.

She won't tell how much she paid for it, but boy is she proud of her very own Morticia Addams chair. Today when I stopped by, she was dressed all in black, long hair in braids, looking for all the world like Wednesday Addams as she sat in her chair happily reading a book. Wish I had a photo of that.

That's a really good buy on those goats!!! They won't last long. She would make much more money than that if she would just load them up and take them to the stock auctions.

Wouldn't mind having a couple of those goats.

There is no such thing as a free horse, after you get one, you find out why it was free.
