Do your 8 month and 2 year old have horns? Many people do not mix horns with de-horned due to the obvious disadvantage of the de-horned goats. It will be wise to see what kind of alpha this 3 year old is trying to be. My alpha of many years was very strong willed and pushy to the younger goats. My saving grace was that he was de-horned and slim built. The babies out grew him by 50 and 90 lbs. That never really stopped him from being a pushy pain in the butt but everyone was safe. If this 3 year old is bossy but not mean you should be ok.
A fluke would be a misjudgment of pressure applied to young goat. A bad goat would mean he attacked to injure. How can you know? You'll have to watch his behavior closely to get a feel for his style and keep him on a lead around younger goats until you are sure.
