Not to likely to cause much damage defending itself after a few good head butts from the older goat should be enough for them to stop. We actually tried something like this last year with breeding bucks. Ours are disbudded, a friend of ours isnt the boy was between 6-10 months old. Granted this is breeding bucks, so testosterone plays a big part, but the younger boy had a clear advantage. The head butts didnt effect him at all and it was clearly going to mess up the bucks heads. After a few minutes I had to separate them. The bucks learned pretty fast that it wasnt fun to head butt the younger boy. The problem was the young boy thought it was a fun game and kept... taunting them I guess. I could see it wasnt going to turn out good. Again, this is white breeding bucks. Wethers are typically much more chill. But all boys fight and at some point the horned boys will dominate the dis budded boys.
