Thank you for all the input. I am going to bring tennis balls next time. I'm glad to say Otto is doing fine. I don't think my big goat is overly mean. If he wanted to he could have done much worse. He is actually more stand offish than anything. I will say that he is serious when it comes to food and neither of my smaller goats contest him on that front.
My younger goats are both hornless because when i got them I lived in city limits and they have strict rules about goats with horns. All of them seem to get along well and even play together. The two smaller ones will sleep together but the big guy seems to want his space. but they will all share the shed when its cold. They will even all pile into the back of my suburban together no prob, which is tight.
I think it was just a case of a goat, not is his family, getting between him and a tasty tree. I don't know how badly he meant to hurt the other goat or even cared one way or the other as long as goats stayed out oh his way.
Lastly, I have children ages 9 - 12 and he never acts aggressive to them. He is more ski-dish and not as affectionate as my younger goats, but still likes them.
