What is the term for a castrated male goat?

Wether is the term for a castrated male goat. This label helps distinguish animals by reproductive status: a male that can breed is called a buck or billy, a female is a doe, and a castrated male (often kept for meat or easier handling) is a wether. A kid is simply a young goat. Castration removes the animal’s breeding capability, which is why the term specific to castrated males is used.
