How do goats horns grow?

Goat horns grow from a core of bone that develops beneath the skin and is covered by a layer of keratin, the same material that makes up human nails and hair. As the goat matures, the horns continue to grow throughout its life, with growth influenced by genetics, nutrition, and overall health. The growth pattern can vary among different breeds, with some having more spiral or curved horns than others. Regular trimming may be necessary to prevent overgrowth in domesticated goats.
