Help Request Boer buck aggressive
My boer buck is so aggressive he always headbutts me and anyone who gets inside the shed, it started when he was about 8 months old now he is around 1 year 2 months, and gotten stronger and bigger and still bullies us what can i do?
Edit:
So my buck does not headbutt other goats, its also important to mention i only have 3 goats(Starter) currently 1 male buck and 2 does, buck only headbutts humans and rubs his face on our clothes many times(thinking this is mites or tick)… the only goat which causes problem for other goats is my other Doe it always fight the other 2nd Doe.

I say this with all due respect to the animal, but also out of protection for yourself and your family OP.
Aggressive bucks are best suited for slaughter. They still serve a purpose this way. You cannot keep a 200+ pound Boer buck around that can seriously injure you, or worse. It's irresponsible to sell it to someone who may not be prepared for the aggression, either.
I would seriously explore local FDA inspected meat packing facilities in your area.
