How dare he do that to a car!!
Our two bucks are on the property line with the dirt road that everybody in the neighbor uses for walking dogs, relatives who visit, etc. We often notice small clumps of people staring in awe/disgust/amazement, etc. at our bucks' "antics".

Yep, They certainly do that and more. Just watch your proximity to them as you might be a target of their affection. They are non-discrimatory in their affections.
I read something about someone using an herb to rub down the goats to help mask the smell. I am not sure but I think it was using one of the mint herbs. Anyone remember what that herb was?

It'd have to be a herb the size of a good sized tree to even begin to mask the smell of one of our mature bucks! On the other hand, I'm not sure I want to get close enough to 'rub one down' either...

A mating pair of Muscovy ducks is a great conversation starter too. . . .

Now that I'm used to the smell and behavior, I don't pay much attention. I don't know if it's because he's young but the smell doesn't bother me that much. I could do without being spritzed though.
I wonder, if you fence your bucks in front where visiters could see them first, do you think that would discourage unwanted visitors?

We don't currently have a buck, so when Lady A and Lil'Miss went into heat, we took them to a friend's house to meet her Nubian buck. She put them and the buck into a pen together. In the next pen over was her older Nubian buck and he was making loud sounds that sounded just like the dinosaurs on Jurassic Park. Noe I know where they got some of those dinosaur sounds. They visited a goat farm in fall,lol.

Oh yes, Muscovies with their big curly fry looking appendage! lol
Bucks are hysterical when in rut. The noises they make can make you darn near wet yourself!
I'm breeding with a March 2011 buckling this year. He bred his first doe a month ago and he's very immature (doesn't even smell, didn't really know what to do with the doe). After an hour of the doe shoving her rear in his face, he figured it out, then he fell over on his back, sat up, and noticed his new girl had TEATS! jumped right up and had himself a snack until she kicked him in the face. lol! (luckily we dam raise and are CAE-, little bugger) As that was his first time ever, I wanted him to service her again and Aspen and I had a hard time convincing Discover that she's a girlfriend, not his mommy. After the second time, he proceeded to do exactly what you described in your post. Men are probably so jealous!

HA! Bucks are great! I love it when people would come over while Hatchet was in rut. He had a huge bu-font hairdo, so everyone always wanted to pet him. Then they run up and he is soooo friendly, and they rub all over his head. Then when they leave, I hear them whisper to each other, what IS that smell? HA!
If they only knew.
Then last fall, the lady that lives down the street came over and said ewwww, his weiner's hangin out groooossss! And then he proceeded to, um, help himself to, well, himself, while she watched.

oh Brooks, I had to show your post to my wife who, like me, also got a kick out of it and said, "yep"... Perhaps you would like to read my old goat story I posted a few years back, and realize that you are not alone in learning the joys of owning a male goat. BTW, my "Revised Goat Story FOUND" story will be included in my first ever published eBook coming out soon from knuckledown press.
Revised Goat Story FOUND!!!!!

Slev... Oh man... I can barely see through the tears to type!
" I thought back to my participation in a drunken male goat sodomy barn brawl rape. ......to this day I have vowed not to drink and practice animal husbandry at the same time"
That has got to be the funniest story I've heard in a while!

Never visit the goat forum if you've just had a big meal!
We're a disgusting bunch.

Oh I still remember my 5 yr old daughter describing in great detail and glee about our bucks behavior to the Walmart cashier. She looks up at the lady with her big blue eyes and says, "Wanna know what our buck Sunny does?" and of course the lady says yes. "First he pees on his beard and then he sticks his pee-pee in his mouth." I was so embarrassed the first time.... now it doesn't even faze me... much.
