The Steps of Goat Aggression

[Nanno]

By the way, I'm glad this has been helpful. When you didn't reappear for a while I thought maybe you were offended by my recommendation to whack an aggressive goat and literally "beat him into submission." I know it sounds harsh and brutal and some people really take offense at the idea of using any kind of physical punishment for behavior, but safety comes first and I think if you use the proper tools and use them correctly and fairly you can be successful without creating more aggression or fear (which often leads to more aggression). I just now saw your last post in which you had to resort to a 2x4 when the water bottle proved useless. I agree that a 2x4, while perhaps the only thing that would keep you safe in that moment, is not something you should plan to use again. Since you know your buck is aggressive, you have the ability to plan ahead with something less dangerous and more effective.
