Can a breeding buck goat be castrated and then trained to pack?
#1
So, I am looking for some good ober pack goats, and have come across a 1.5 year old Buck. The current owner tells me that he has bred her does two seasons now, and has been hitherto a very sweet and mellow boy. However, this current rut has left him quite aggressive. He is a very big goat, so she has decided to sell because of it. So, Im wondering if I had him castrated at the vet, would that tone him back down to his prior mellow self? Have any of you experience with wethers who had reached their sexual maturity, and even been allowed to breed before they were wethered? Any other issues that I might encounter? Will the smell go away? Will they tend to want to “mount” other goats more often? How will they likely interact with other smaller wethers? Any health issues to be considered?

Thanks for your time and input.
