Wether does not like his new baby sisters-Do I need to get rid of him?

Well, I left them all together for a while today - even after the girls were disbudded this afternoon, and there was NO HEAD BUTTING! I think you all were right. They needed to be together to re-establish the order.

I really appreciate how kind and knowledgable everyone is! It makes owning these pets more fun!

Well I had to go and say it.

Today the buckling was making a serious little boy- pest of himself. I didn't think he was old enough yet (6 or 7 weeks?) but he's been jumping on the yearlings and today I saw him emerge a bit from his sheath (lol I don't really know how to say that?). I think it's time to band or castrate or in some way make a wether of him. He's related to two of my girls (son and half-brother) and is probably not especially outstanding so probably destined to be barbecued (hope that doesn't offend anyone here -- other than being mildly protective he shows no particular promise ad a companion to the ladies or as a pet and he was never disbudded besides).

But his mother didn't put up with his advances and it dissolved into some stand-up mildly head-cracking butting. Not sure but I think they were actually playing. Both were tail-wagging, but the buckling's back-hair was up in a ridge.

Very much learning at all this lol.

Glenolam, I'm glad to hear your babies are doing ok in the herd.
