Buck spitting at me. WHY?????

[ChksontheRun]

So now my question is, does all of this icky behavior settle down when rut season is over. We had two sweet little 6 month old bucklings until the first doe went into season. Now there is nothing but blubbering and peeing and head butting in the boys pen. I want my sweet little boys back. They were the most affectionate of the bunch, but not any more......

NO. Mine tried to kill each other today. It was ugly. Not only does the small one spit at me and love me to much. They also just wanted to kill each other.

Yes, it goes away after rut season and they become sweet again. I assure you, it is a temporary state. But it lasts for 6 months a year. However, as they age it gets more controlled.

I am so lost with goats it is not funny. The woman we bought our bucks from told us nothing about them. Then we got does. Boy are we learning the hard way. I can not find a mentor that is consitant. I feel like the more I am told the further I am being set back. I don't know how to proceed. I am about ready to give up because when I ask questions (not from here) I get so much information and not actual advice. I am told do this, do that, and I am doing everything wrong. According to one woman I am doing everything wrong. She told me my bucks and does should not have horns, never have 2 bucks. I need to feed them all natural food I grow myself. Do not feed them loose minerals because of where I live in the south. I need at least 3 bloodlines in my does. I need to feed them dried kelp, and I should look into sharing a buck with someone. I really don't know what to do anymore. Maybe just give up on my future plans of dairy goats. I am sorry I am just venting and don't know where or who to turn to.
