This is a breed characteristic, they are actually sheep and are called Jacob sheep.
No domesticated goats do not lose their horns. Some farmers disbud their goats when they are little kids so that the horns do not grow. There are also some goats that are born hornless due to a poll gene.
Some goats are born with small horn buds that will grow into horns as they age. Some breeds of goats are naturally polled, meaning they are born without horns. Horned goats can be disbudded shortly after birth to prevent horn growth.
A goat typically has two horns, although some goat breeds may not have any horns due to selective breeding. Both male and female goats can have horns, but the size and shape of the horns can vary depending on the breed.
I could be wrong but it seems there is not a breed of goats without horns. Being without horns is refered to as "polled" and is considered a genetic defect. It can appear in any breed. Yes, there is no breed without horns. Polled is a recessive gene and 2 polled animals should only be used for breeding if the owner is ready to accept a possibly heartbreaking mutation. It is called hermaphrodism. Rare, but possible.
Goats are related to sheep for obvious reasons such as hoofs and horns, tails and fur (wool) but some think they are related to deer (more than they are to sheep) because deer have the same tail and they grow horns and they also have hooves while sheep have wool and deer have fur but goats don't have wool they have fur. Goats could also be related to horses through the hooves gene but that would be a short scientific reason why. We all originate from something!
This is just a breed characteristic.

Some goats use they're horns for sexual intercourse with other female goats, believe it or not this is 100% and COMPLETELY TRUE!

Female what? Female goats with horns are common, Female sheep with horns, not so much, but some breeds do.

There are many animals hunted for their horns: Elephant (if you count a tusk as a horn), Rhino, some sheep and goats, deer breeds are also hunted for horns. These are just a few but there are others that are hunted for horns. If they have a horn then they are most likely to be hunted for them - unfortunately
fur these animals have many, many differences. one, they are not even in the same order. goats have cloven feet, unlike horses. horses do not chew their cud. and there is also the size difference. goats have horns. these are just some of the differences.

that they would find woolly mammoths, goats with huge horns, and blue eyed Indians.

no one known for sure, but some ideas are:triceratops' horns were used for defense; with the horns, triceratops can recognize others of its kind;the horns made triceratops look bigger NOTE:it's spelled "triceratops" not "tricreatop"
