It depends on what market you are trying to sell your meat to - capretto, young kid, or older kid. Sometimes the price received depends on what weight the carcase is. Mainly it is at 3 to 4 months of age.

How long for a goat to grow until it is able to be butchered?
It depends on how much flavour you want to the meat and how much meat you want. Capretto or milk fed is when goats are slaughtered at 3 to 4 months of age (at about 25 to 30 kg live weight), chevon is no longer milk fed. I send my wethers to the abattoir when they are about 25 to 30 kg but for personal consumption as I like a larger roast I wait until they are about 6 months old.
