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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_goat -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2008-02-26 18:42:53 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Billy_Goats_Gruff http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0122e.html - Three Billy Goats Gruff |
