Exploring the pasture
I am pretty much in the same boat, I have a very bossy 9 month old Nigerian doe (the one in my avatar). She is so food aggressive with my other two. I just have to feed them separately. She, also, runs my new buckling around the pen & barn sometimes and I feel so sorry for him but I figure it's best to let them work out the pecking order. The only thing I'm worried about is Dixie's horns causing damage to the other two because they are becoming very sharp. I'm about to try the "duct tape method" on her, lol.
I will never think of selling Dixie because I bottle raised her indoors with my dogs (what an awesome experience!). She just craves human attention. I have a hunch that she feels entitled to everything she wants because I spoiled her from a very young age with affection/food/treats and introduced the other two goats a few months apart from her arrival. In other words, she was here first and she knows she is Mama's big baby.

It worked like a charm.
