Thanks!

Hello OCO
I have little experience with Buck goats.
But lots of experience with horse stallions and working them in Public.
Because of the nature of a buck goat from what I know, IF they are in RUT and there is a doe in heat you have a major problem.

I have used stallions and believe in "Working" Stallions under all kinds of work. But then with the right training and person handling the stallion they make a excellent working animal. But there are NO short cuts. You get a good working stallion from understanding each other.
I do NOT know goats well enough or your Buck well enough to make a statement. 
Working any STUD animal in public requires a much higher level of training "Obedience" and Experience on your part than any other animal you have ever worked.

Stick to Wethers or a dry nanny for working goats.

Baron Von Black Arabian Stallion competing in Cowboy Mounted Shooting 45 Colt SA Revolvers used and 10 rounds required to score.
He took me to a Championship as well as being a Excellent PR horse for the Arabian Breed.
Your Buck Goat will have that load on him to Represent your Farm and Breed in Public.
Take a Wether is my advice.
Happy Trails
