Ok, so today my husband and I flipped him over and we found no testicles so I guess he must just be doing this out of instinct...thoughts?

How well do you know the breeder?
If one testicle is up inside and didn't drop then he still has one. Sometimes inexperienced folks band and never even know they have a one nut wonder.
How long ago was he done? This is unusual for a 3 year old wether. Not unusual for a newly wethered mature male.

umm... the breeder said he was fixed. He is at least 2 1/2 if not 3 years old and seems to be very "horny" actually getting irritating. My other weathered goats show non of this behavior. How do I tell if he still has a testicle?

Your vet might be able to tell. If it is high up they won't be able to feel it.
If undescended there will be no sac hanging- the teste is up inside.

so if that is the case, can he still impregnate one of my females?
