My goat wont stop peeing on me! Help!!

[SnapdragonQ]

And he's already pretty bulky at 5 months. It was the people's first time doing the banding, that we got him and our other one from.

Ah, there is your answer. If it is not done properly, the types of behaviors you are seeing are common. You might need to inquire with a vet to have it done surgically if you plan to keep that male. Otherwise you will probably need to find him a different home because even a smaller Nigerian buck is a handful and too much for a new goat owner.

Find him a new home, yes.... in your freezer.

This kind of buck is dangerous and much like a dog that attacks humans, or a rooster for that matter, he should absolutely not be passed onto another person as their problem.

I have NEVER had a buck exhibit sexual behavior towards me, that is so far past the line of what I would tolerate in a goat. This is absolutely not a normal behavior, whether the goat is intact or not.

Start by carrying a squirt bottle/squirt gun full of 1/2 water & 1/2 vinegar.
Spray him in the face every time he even hunches up.
Decide how committed you are to keeping this guy.
If you really want to keep him, either vet him or get an experienced goat farmer to look at him and his banding job.
Or run him through a sale barn.
He's not safe to bring people in to look at him as buyers.
You cannot guarantee fertility or lack of. Who will buy a goat that pees on them?
If you really want to keep him, he'll need retraining.

If the banding was successful, you won't need him anyway except as an annoying pet.
While small as they may be, barbecue goat leg makes a fine dish.

I never heard of banding when I was growing up. Every castration I did, regardless of species, was surgical.

Didn't get him banded correctly, eh?

A goat trying to jump you is no joke. This is gonna sound harsh, but get rid of him now. Goat jerky is worth turning a nasty buck into.

And training you don't think is an option?

I don't get how they could have messed it up. And training isnt an option if it was messed up?

Is training a goat, especially a pushy one, like a dog? And would it be worth it?

Its way too late for that

Because I work with livestock in real live and as an academic, I see where it could have been a botched banding job, easily. My school taught me the banding process, but I much prefer the surgical process for this exact reason. To be SURE I got everything... or to know for SURE if I did not.
