So i as most pygmy breeders do... used to keep my two buck Vladimir and Knight in a pen together however after a few months of it living arrangement it became odious that is wasn't the best idea because my older buck Vlad is well a jerk. at feeding time i had to sit between the to of them so Knight could have his food and Vlad would purposely stop what he was doing and run and hit knight for no reason. So in the end i decided, it wasn't normal dominance Vlad's a bully. so i took the two away from one another. So as many of you know this spring i purchased a new 3 yr old. GCH buck Guinness i placed Guinness in the stall beside Vlad in the barn and knight was across the hall three stales down.(he's sheltered : so today i put Guinness in the bucks pen because he's a good boy and doesn't try to get out of his pen even when it's unhooked and he can stick his head out. (i worked on it but it's not Vlad proofed that's why they where still in stalls) I also decided it was no fair to knight he's well behaved too so i put him in the pen fully expecting the normal young buck two day fight for the top spot and they're...........best friends? it crazy you'd think they'd lived together for never not one head butt and they ate grain and are now sleeping together in the field shelter like normal. my conclusion Vlad really is a Jerk!!!! lol.

lol...I put Patrick the bottle baby who is 5 weeks old in the pen with my buck and Oddly enough Jeb (10 months old now) plays with him, eats with him, the only time he head butts him is if Patrick gets right in front of Jeb at the fence to get to me. They are both my babies and know it....only Patrick thinks of me as his actually mommy and Jeb doesnt. So yea sounds like you had a jerk on your hands.... I'm glad the two are getting together so well.

That's kinda funny...You would think Guiness (as big as he is) would be the jerk!
