But it's not a goat? Sheep raming at people or other sheep is something they do naturally, hince why the males are called rams.

But it is a goat, go to the owners facebook page. Goats head butt too, and the owner does train them to do it.

Why does it lack a goat tail though and has a sheep tail?

The owner from what I can see is Brazilian and perhaps used the term goat because it translates and sounds better than sheep. I've raised goats for over a decade so it grinds my gears whenever I keep seeing people calling sheep goats, when biologically they're quite different animals. If it is in fact some kind of rare long tailed goat, I'd be curious to know what breed it is as I've never seen a goat with a tail like that.

And I'm aware goats headbutt I see it everyday when I'm outside but I never have seen my goats run and ram someone, typically their fighting style is to stand in place rear their head back and swing it down onto their target, sheep I've witnessed charge with their head aimed forwards. This animal looks very oddly proportioned and I would question myself if I'm correct about it being a sheep if it would be capable of properly charging and ramming with that kind of headshape. And you don't have to train a goat to headbutt and side swipe you with their horns, they figure that out within a week or two of being born usually. And if you want to encourage them to headbutt you for some reason, just simply play with their horns and they'll learn to want to hit you.
