Just looking for some suggestions/advise. We have a buck who is about 4 years old now, we got him when he was several months old already and we have not had him casterated. Why our friends who have milking goats and keep three bucks never have problems is beyond me, especially since one of the bucks is huge, because our buck is... Words can not describe that creature, more than once he has been threatened about being put into the soup pot, not that that helpped any - watching a crazy girl standing with her hands on her hips yelling at him... And I know that bucks stink, but he is worse than any other buck I have ever seen, even sunlight soap and bleach doesn't remove the smell if you pet him, and that takes out even pig smell! the only thing that even mildly masked the smell was when we put mint cream on his leg after he hurt it causing problems. Our other goats/sheep we always had banded when they were a few weeks old and quite young, but I cannot even imagine that working at this stage. The only option we can think of is fairly extensive surgery and I know that that can be a bit dangerous and very pricy, which we cannot afford. I know that I'm kindof just grasping for hope here, but does anyone have any advise or possibly know if there is something else that we could do? we have him penned and even then we have to chain him to the milkhouse, which he manages to keep escaping from and that chain is a heavy duty commersial one! We want him to be able to be loose in his pasture and would like to actually be able to pet him without being bruised and gored - the stupid creature actually tied me up with his chain once, puched me against the wall and continuously kept butting me!!!!! Any help in this matter would be a tremendous releif!
