What is the correct butchering age for a goat? 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.

A grass-fed producer simply cannot expect to slaughter a Simmental steer at 18 months of age and at 1060 lbs when the bulk of his Angus steers will be ready. He will need to hold his Simmental calves over another winter, slaughtering them when they reaches about 1400 lbs at around 24-26 months of age.
