just sold one of my dosile does and she is causing trouble in new herd

[fmizula]

i have sold one of my very docile submissive goats a nubian alpine to a woman with two young goats one nubian female and nubian weather. she is ramming them and not letting them into their home. she has never behaved this way before in our heard. im not sure what advise to give to the woman on how to handle this. she is being very skiddish twords her and was never near me. i said to try to bribe her with some treats and she should begin to trust her... as to the brutality to the other goaties in not sure what to do as she has never been this way. it has been 2 and a half days so its not been to long yet.

any adive would be great!!

she is establishing her place in the pecking order of the herd. if the others do not fight back, she will be the herd queen. since it is a new position for her, she might take advantage of it for awhile. suggest she feed the others in a different location for awhile, or catch and tie up the new doe. they will work it out eventually.

how long do you think a while is? like a few weeks?

 

[currycomb]

until they settle down. it is disturbing for the humans, to be expected for the goats and other herd animals

It will continue until the other goats concede and 'let her win'...could be a week, could be a month. But it's very normal.

Like the chicken pecking order.
