Getting Goat kids

Most definitely. Goats are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get. :lol: I've enjoyed their antics for decades. They keep you busy, and guessing.
Ozzy has been that one chocolate in the box that you keep picking and don't like it but eat it anyways! šŸ˜³ā¤šŸ¤ šŸ˜‚
 
Okay..That I understand. In a small herd set up and pets then the chances are minimal to the breeding injuries caused from hormones and that type of aggressive behaviour. Pets generally don't have that drive to inflict injuries. Just playing.
Also though, since Ozzy is a bit, more dominant, it can come out. Buckiness means horns come into play. And yes, as they get more active, they do head butt each other. Horns were originally on goats for in the wild, for survival. Now goats don’t really need them, which is why many people choose to get rid of them. Some people like them though. Some think it’s cruel to take them off, apparently it’s split. I have one goat with horns, one without. They lived together their whole lives. About 2 years. When they head butt, I worry that my horned one will hurt the other. Our buck...well, he used his horns as a weapon. He had to go. I would watch them, if they were mine, and see how big they are getting..I mean the goats. If Ozzy outweighs Fancy by a lot...then it might be something to consider. That’s a lot of extra force behind horns....right into ribs sometimes. Just see how they play/get rough at meal times. Especially when you get your two more goats. More goats always changes dynamics.
 
Well I asked around to local Goat owners. My Pal and Susan my others are coming from about horns and hornless. It's generally Bucks that are the issues with horns.
My two eat from the same bowl each feeding without issues. Ozzy only uses his head and not horns to bunt Fancy and visa-versa.
I'll definitely adjust things as I see issues arise.

Sounds like a good way to go :)
