Hello All
Dominance
With my guys here. All Wethers and with a good age and of very different colors.
Pete and Sam being the dark goats and established here. 2 and five years old.
Blizzard and Fuzzy being the young brats and pure white (Saanen X Alpine) Kidded in March 1/2 brothers.
Pete will really push the kids around and Sam will to if there is food involved.
I am inclined that they are just bashing on each other because the old boys are making sure they remain top goats.
Goats I am new to but 38+ years of working with Equine Herd Structure has given me a little insight.
I have seen many time in herd structure light or dark colored horses will be either at the top or the bottom end of the ladder. I do believe animals are color predigest.
Happy Trails
