introducing doling to heard

[christie]

so I bought this 7 wk old doeling to replace the milker I am sellling, which hasn't left yet. My 2 Nubians are big girls. The one that is leaving is being VERY aggressive towards her. I Will Not leave her alone with them. She sleeps outside they're stall in a dog cage. If she even walks buy they're stall the evil one rams into it. Today I walked her around the inside of the perimeter of the pasture while they were in there. My nice girl kind of gently butts her. but the evil one tries to ram, her hard. I stayed with her I and taought her about electic fences and such. But can't leave her in there w/ them. So the only time she can go outside is when Im out in the yard where she follows me all about. But otherwise I put her in they're stall during the day... its bigger then the dog cage!
So what should I do? keep this going till the new owners pick that evil goat up?
I think my Julie will be nice to her once the other goat is gone, and her being her only companion. but it is getting old quick!
Anyone have any recommendations?

Call the people purchasing your "evil" goat and tell them to come get her now.

I am going to assume that your "evil" goat is the herd queen?

You could try separating the problem goat and let Julie and the doeling be together and become friends so you don't have too many problems when Julie establishes herself as "queen" when the problem goat leaves.

Actually the evil goat is sold and the new owners are coming tomorrow to get her.... they wanted to wait till the weekend and I was like no way!
And NO she is not the heard queen!!! Julie is. Julie pushes her around being almost double her size. I think she wants to make sure this lil goat isn't going to push her around either.
And I can't separate them, though I may try it for today, because the evil goat is horribly loud... the reason were selling her, And she would probably throw a fit. But for today maybe I'll try it.

Thank Goodness the evil one leaves tomarrow. One more day & it should be better. I would put the evil goat in the stall & let the doeling & Julie get aquainted in the pasture. There will be a little butting but that's normal.

Is Julie the doe she's nursing off of right now?

[christie]

No she isn't nursing off of Julie... rats! But she nursed off the the evil one on the stand. She didn't care about the kicks to the head either.. she just kept on drinking!
Half the day I brought the evil goat in and put baby w/ Julie. They were fine together. Miniaml pushing wouldn't even call it a butt. Julie likes to play hard but tried a couple times and knew baby was to small. Then she got worried about the evil one and called and paced for her. The lil doe just followed her about. So I think she will be fine!!!

Backfourty, you beat me to it. I would put the evil one in the stall too and leave the other 2 together.
