This is a mean goat and is about to get herself sold.
She is one of the two Kiko goats that we bought last year to replace the Boer nannies that died of parasites. Kikos are supposed to be hardier meat goats that are not as susceptible to internal parasites, which has proven to be true of our two thus far. When we bought the two Kikos, they were very shy and flighty. However, this one has become downright aggressive, so much so that I'm afraid to go into the pasture to feed. When I have the feed bucket in my hand, she tries to head butt me and hook me with her horns. She also actually makes a growling sound. I'm not going to put up with it any more because she could really do some damage with those horns.

how long does she have until 'eatin' time? I say, kill her early, this way you've gotten your moneies worth
We bought her to breed, not to eat. Her offspring would be the eatin' goats.
Huh..wonder what you can do to make her less aggressive?
I have no idea how to calm her down. I worked on getting both of the Kikos to not be afraid and run away when I'm out there. It worked for her and she doesn't run away, but the other one is still very skittish. Frankly, I'd rather they run away than try to gore me. heh.
