I appreciate reading everyones advise on how to deal with an aggressive male goat. I agree with the need to establish dominance by whatever means necessary, and have personally found this very effective with my smaller goats. However I have a male goat who is now almost 2 years old and weighs about 350 pounds or more. When he stands on his hind legs hes 9 ft tall and he has a magnificent set of horns. I have raised him since he was a day old, and since I only have 4 goats including him, he gets alot of attention, not to mention the fact that hes my favorite. But he is not a pet, he goes from being sweet and liking my company to wanting to kill me in an instant. He can snap a 4x4 post in half like it is a match stick. He doesnt bite but he does try to stick me with his horns...charges like a bull...attempts to knock me down etc. I would appreciate any and all advice by anyone who has experience on handling large male goats. I have learned alto by trial and error but today he attacked me while I was walking him and not only did he hurt me, I couldn't get him to stop and had to scream for help in order not to get stomped. This occurred because i was scratching his head and rubbing his ears and when I stopped he got irate. How could I dominate a goat that out weighs me by 200 pounds? Anyone have any advise on what type of fencing works best? Thanks for your responses!
