Hello DUG
RE: Gilbert getting beat up on.
My situation here is a bit different than yours. I only have 2 Pete and Sam.
They will "Fuss' a bit with each other but are buddies.
After each "Expedition" we have they get out of the Goat Tote and get a small Alfalfa pellet treat.
It "distracts" them while I get a cold brew.
My "Treat"
I settle into a deck chair and in short order I have goats down on the deck around me. Rest up time for all.
IDEA: Will Gilbert settle down / lay down if you "Relax" ?
Point being, Let him and you take time to "recharge" before you put him back in the herd.
My boy's are very tightly bonded to me, so after they have a belly full it is come over and hang out with the boss goat.
Good example was today.
I had a range shooting day here and even with 2 hours of gunfire they both stayed within sight of me.
Then when we were putting guns away "Kept" trying and did get in the RV with me. "BRATS"
I do not think I have goats that are gun shy.
Happy Trails
