Nanny goats may fight a nanny goat with a kid primarily to establish dominance or hierarchy within the herd. The presence of a kid can trigger protective instincts in other nannies, leading them to view the mother as a rival for resources such as food or space. Additionally, the fighting can be part of natural social behavior, where goats establish boundaries and social order within their group. This behavior is generally more pronounced during breeding season or when resources are scarce.
