What is a neutered goat called?

Wether.

adults can say CASTRATED

All goats under 6 months of age are called kids. Female goats over the age of 6 months are generally called doelings, and are female goats that have not reached maturity. Male goats over the age of 6 months are called bucklings, which are simply immature male goats. Once a female goat has reached maturity, she is called a doe. A mature male goat is called a buck. When a male goat is castrated, he is called a wether.Our version of “kid” derives from the German “kinder” for child. Back in the day, calling a child a “kid” was considered vulgar! But, as time passed, the stigma passed.You can always tell a child “I’m calling you a ‘kid’ because you’re acting like a baby goat.”
