I raise goats, yet I cannot believe how incredibly ignorant this is. When you are on the same side of the fence as livestock, your attention needs to be on the livestock. Bucklings, start butting about 6-8 weeks old, doelings about 2-3 weeks behind. Head butt to the face and you've got a broken nose or some missing teeth. They don't have upper front teeth, but the bottom ones are sharp and quite capable of taking off a chunk of your earlobe. Protective doe thinks you're too chummy with her kid and "IT IS ON."
