On the other hand, some goats (depending on their personality) come round very well with a little personal attention. We've tamed a couple of "untouchables" but it took quite a long time for them to really become comfortable around us. Ours were small, dehorned does so they weren't too hard to deal with once caught (catching them in the first place was the bigger issue!). Does this big guy have horns? Horns will make him more difficult to deal with when he gets frightened because you'll have to always be on your guard against accidentally getting smacked or hooked when he moves suddenly. Best of luck with your decision!
He's six weeks old and not dehorned. I cornered him and grabbed him but of courses he kept trying to get away. Realistically I don't have much time... I'm often away for two weeks at a time for work... darn...
