David Menachem Mendel asks:
HOW IS POSSIBLE TO PUT THE SCHITAH KNIFE BETWEEN THE HORNS ? IF THE KNIFE GOES INTO THE WOOL, IT IS COMPREHENSIBLE, BUT BETWEEN THE HORNS?

At first I thought that perhaps they used a species of goats with round horns.
But after checking with a list of pictures of goats, I discovered that there is no such species - at least not mowadays.
In any event, what's the problem? Why couldn't they tie the knives to the horns?
