Calling All Caprine Psychology Majors

She's borderline Herd Queen & has become fairly demanding over the last few years for her neck skritches & massages.
Put her in with buck a couple weeks. She hollered a lot but I pretty much ignored her.
Usually I put two or three in at a time but she was the last one. I understand the hollering, she only had him as a buddy.
Anyway she is now back in the doe population & everytime I go in there she walks quickly up to me & almost knocks me over rubbing her head on me.
So she gets her fair share of attention but Im just curious, what might be going on in her head?

One of the girls that I'm milking decided to start butting everything and me the last two days. I cant turn my back on her. And she's the only one with horns. I don't know what's going on in her head.

Nah Chamoisse, just a dab from way back.

Any other ideas? Just changing herd dynamics?

Maybe she is wondering what she did wrong that she got seperated out like that and is trying to make it up to you so it doesnt happen again...?....Goats are too smart for their own good....
