The Steps of Goat Aggression

[Nanno]

"Tipping" means just that--tipping the goat over onto its side and holding it down. Sounds like that's what you're doing and it's not working. I'm glad he's not bigger! It may not be that you should be more aggressive, but maybe you either need to hold him down longer or try a different method. Try aiming the water spray at his feet and see what happens. I also recommend not going into his pen without something stronger like a garden hose until you get this under control. Some people very successfully use a Hot Shot or other type of cattle prod to keep their bucks at a safe distance when going into the pen. I've used a shock collar on an very aggressive wether with good results. Best of luck!
