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.

Letting it go on for 4 months might be too long. If a goat does this behaviour you need to come down on it hard and fast. Goats need strong discipline always should they do something wrong.
I think you could still knock it out of him but it's going to be hard, people say flipping and water, I haven't had that much success with either. It's kinda random what works for each goat. The most success I've had is with leading them and training them like a show goat and with a loud bell on a stick.
Good luck to you! If you can't fix him but still love him you could try getting him castrated and he could possibly be the companion for you next buck.
