Here's the problem. My friend has a goat. He is constantly humoing everything including her. He is also headbutting things to. IS it possible to get him nuetered? I know when cats and dogs reach maturity, if you have them fixed alot of times the behaviors go away. She is deperate.

Of course you can get a goat neutered, it's done all the time when the goats are used for production. What I don't know is if he will stop the behavior after being neutered... females also do headbutting... It may be a game... young ones (and adolescents) play that way to test their strenghs...

If the behavior has become a habit, he may never stop. If the humping behavior hasn't become a habit for him, neutering will stop it.
