You could always do what they do with problem roosters, invite everyone over for stew.

true, however she is a show goat and an excellent breeder, too expensive to eat! she was very mild mannered until this goat got pregnant.

I'm big on the aquarium hobby (I live in a dorm, very little acreage) and I paid 60 dollars for a 2 and a half inch clam, a 16 inch clam of the same species would have run me a good 500 if it was ugly, but people in asia eat them.

I am sorry, what does clams have to do with goats???

The problem is that the two does are fighting it out to see who gets to be #2.

Keep them separated, because they can kill each other in these battles, especially if one of them gets trapped.

I agree with Lazygardens that those two are jockying for the #2 spot. We've had heards with up to 30 does and this is everyday normal stuff although it really seems brutal. We never had any lost pregnancies. But the getting trapped is a problem of its own. The fence should not have openings that the goats can get their head thorough even if no other doe is beating up on her. Goat society is very interesting to observe. Tom

I had one nasty girl who was a great big bully. We found two mild-mannered sisters who were tougher then she, and she got the dickens butted out of her. She turned into a very nice goat after that. Once they work out the pecking order, things will settle down. For all of the butting these girls did, none miscarried.

I thought the Clam was a perfect paralele, if
Aquatic rather than terrestrial. Both are farmed for food, both have some that are farmed for show/pets, Both can be either cheap or expensive, ect.

oh, i see the clam relation now, sorry, i had a blonde moment.
on the goat side, for the fence, by hubby got the field fencing, with 2x4" holes on the the bottom and 6x6 holes on teh top, this goat will pry her small head through the middle and then her horns get stuck, she can usually gets her head out no problem, I think I have some stiff netting I can attatch to the outside to discourage her from getting her head through.
