Got Goat Issues?

ok well i now have 3 goats. 2 girls and one male. the male is my little boy and he is the oldest[4 months]. Yesterday while i was outside with him i sat down and he climbed in my lap and layed there, the other 2 [Jessi and Annie] were just walkin around me, untill Jessi started chewing on my shirt, my little boy [ Dallas] bit her ear and would not let go untill i told him that idf he didnt let go i wouldnt give him his Crunch and Munch, then Annie came by and rubbed her head on me and Dallas bit her tail and wouldnt let go untill i told him about the Crunch and Munch. i kept tellin him that if he wasnt mean to the girls i would give him some and he would stop. Does that mean that he is just being protective over his "mommy" or just being a brat. BTW im 14
Answers:
He was being a brat. He wanted all your attention and did not what to share you with the others. If this gets to be a habbit youwill want to punish him with a tap on the nose or a sharp "No" so when he gets larger he will not bully the other gaots dangerously when you are playing or feeding them. Good Luck!
He just wants you all to himself lol
Make sure you spend time with the other ones!
Shadow and Dakota (my goats when I was a kid) used to do that all the time. Basicly, its their version of king of the rock. He picked the best spot, and he isnt going to give it up
They are playing... BTW... If you don't get him fixed and get his scent glands burnt, he will SSSSSTTTIIINNNKKKK pretty soon... I mean REEEEEAAAALLLYYY stink!!! Won't come out either.. .Happens when they hit puberty... We thought our Billy goat was sweet until he began to stink and then it broke his heart when we wouldn't play with him anymore. Bathing does NOOOOTTT help... Ask your vet.
