Pygmy billy (or buck) goat works, too. Use "wether" for the castrated males.
Female goats are referred to as does or nannies (or, less frequently, as mishas), **intact males as bucks or billies**; their offspring are kids. Castrated males are wethers**. Goat meat from younger animals is called kid, and from older animals is sometimes called chevon, or in some areas mutton.

You're welcome, Catherine, and thank you :-) You might want to check out the story of Billy Goat Gruff. According to Wikipedia, it is translation of a Norwegian folk talk. It is one of those tales we read, or have read to us, as children.
