age of goats to slaughter for meat
Otherwise they would be kids. Eating kids just sounds weird. It depends on what cuts of meat you are looking at having. A younger goat say up to a year is going to be more tender and the steaks would be tender still. If you are just wanting mostly burger I would say you could butcher even a 3 or 4 year old Wether. We butchered a 2 year old, and he had a lot of fat on him, where as I think if you do right around a year you don't get as much of that. A Boer goat is the best breed for butchering because Boers are bred to be meaty.
