My goat is at my sister right now with a herd of her does. She bred Izzy in the begining of feburary and we are not sure she is preggers... but what could be the reason for the wether to be humping her? besides shes not preggo. She is the only one that we know of that he humps.

I am sorry. I am a bit cofused... Is Izzy your goat and you brought her to your sister's to be bred? Her wether is humping her?
If I understand you well, the wether humping her may be just a sign of dominance. He may feel threaten with a new comer. It may or may not have anything to do with her being pregnant or not.

You say she was bred the beginning of February. Well if that's the case then she was just bred, maybe the wether is humping her because she still smells like she is in heat? You won't know whether she is bred or not till she is due to come back into heat again which should be about 21 days away from the last heat.
