Post: RE: The Steps of Goat Aggression
Tying him up is another option on the table. Not one that I like, but we are well past "what I like" territory. Working on finding a place I can tie him and still keep him safe and healthy. What time ... |

Post: RE: The Steps of Goat Aggression
So far so good with the riding crop. I have gotten pretty good at targeting his nose, and he has gotten much better at staying out of my bubble. I do have a cattle prod in case he starts fighting thro... |

I've heard that cattle prods can work in some cases, but I've never used one (yet). I wouldn't rule it out for a a truly dangerous animal, but I feel like it mi... |

Quick note on my last post: that short piece of rubber hose was an excellent thing to accidentally have in my hand at that moment! It was sturdy enough to be ph... |

Yeah, flipping a big, aggressive goat is pretty risky! I'm glad you're already getting some positive results from the spray bottle. Bucks can be a real handful ... |

Update: We were showing some progress until today when he sneak attacked me. Worst fight yet. I finally got his head on the ground and held it there until about 2 minutes after he gave up fighting. He... |

Post: RE: The Steps of Goat Aggression
