If not debudded they can be very violent animals and deserve due respect handling them. There is no way I would let a kid be in a pen with horned goats alone.
We brought our 4 home (about 120 miles) in the back of a Jeep Grand Cherokee when they were about 6 weeks old.
They traveled MUCH better than human KIDS I've hauled around!
Not once did they say...
"Are we THERE yet?" or "He LOOKED at me" or "She's hogging the window" or 'Are we there YET???" or "I gotta pee."
I'd have a hard time putting one of the girls back there now!
Our main breeder had horns that from point to point was (I keep forgetting) either 44 or 46 inches. He couldn't get in one of the barn doors unless he tilted his head. But they were only nasty during breeding season. Could do you some damage during that time.
Only had one go after me, it was his first breeding season and I had him in a back pen with 3 young doe's and made the mistake of walking back there without watching him. He pasted me to the wall, but saw him coming and was able to back up almost to the wall before he hit me and I was also able to grab the horns and slow down his attack. I got madder than him and he got thrown out of the back barn door, adrenalin is a wonderful thing. If he would have been my big breeder, I would have been in a world of hurt.
That guy and his doe's were in another barn with access to the larger pasture. I never went into that pasture without checking out where he was first, but after breeding he was fine. It took both me and my husband to take him down for hoof trimming.
Most of them I could do myself. We had several wethers that it also took 2 of us to take down. Does, yearling bucks were easy for a woman to handle.
Shearing was an interesting time, we had professionals do that and friends came to help and we went to their farm when the shearer was there.
