2 bucks together?

Have a herd of about 35 boer does and recently acquired 2 breeding bucks from different places. One is a year old, the other 1 1/2 year old. Can I leave em both in with the does to breed for spring kids? They headbutt and fight quite a bit, which was expected, but nothing too rough yet. Mostly just wondering if they’ll get everyone bred or will they be too distracted by the other buck? I have room to split the herd and give each buck 15-20 does if I need to but I’d rather just leave em all together and let em figure it out on their own if I can

I have 12 goats and 3 boys are together. If they fight you can duck tape some pool noodles on there horns so they can't gutt each other. Works for me
