My goat has a poking problem
#10
Two years (maybe a little less) is about when Cuzco started challenging people and horses as well. He didn't really bother me or Phil, but I kept getting reports from other people who boarded their horses at the same ranch we did. Then we moved and Cuzco seemed to mostly mellow out for a few years until he was ten years old. That's when we got more goats and he turned downright MEAN toward Phil and I. He turns sweet whenever we take him out by himself and leave the other goats home, and he's fine if we're at a show where he can have a pen all to himself, but he resents having to share anything with other goats. He's manageable most of the time, but occasionally when he's really nasty I have to get out the shock collar and give him a zap or two. That straightens him out for a few months and I can't say he turns pleasant, but at least he stops getting up in our faces. He's fifteen now, so at this point I don't see much hope of ever turning him around unless he follows through with his threats to outlive every other goat on the place. I hope Basho stays good for you guys.
