Well, as long as you don't plan on leaving him a buck, there's no problem.

OK lets set the record straight .... hermaphrodites are a very rare occurrence .... secondly it only occurs when a doe ( female ) is bred to a buck ( male ) and BOTH have the polled gene. Polled is recessive genetic trait .... even when this occurs ( recessive to recessive ) odds are still low. I have had and bred goats of many breeds for longer then I care to think about and have never had even one happen.... this covers 100's of births with many polled to polled breeding. I have owned and bred every thing from Pygmy to Alpine.... Nigerians to Nubian and most in between. This is not breed specific ......
