Dear SD,
I do not know how to help you, but if you search, "Headbutting" or "How to stop headbutting" it should pop up. Or another helpful person might be able to help!

Ignore her. Shes probably doing it for attention, so ignore her

How old is she? Does she have other goat friends?

 

[redtailgal]

How old is this goat and what breed is she?

Is there a particular time that she is headbutting (during feeding time etc)?

You can start with a squirt bottle and blast her in the face each time she does it. Personally, I give her a smart smack on the shoulders each time. She needs to understand the YOU are the boss here, not her. So be bigger than her, and make headbutting you more uncomfortable for her than it is for you.

Well she is a year and one month. she is a Nubian. No I want to get her another goat friend. She head butts when I am feeding her

You HAVE to get her a friend, shes NEEDS one !!!

Well when I breed her if I keep her baby will that count as a friend?

 

[CochinBrahmaLover=)]

I suggest buying her a friend, a wether will do good
