A wether goat is a male goat that has been castrated, meaning that its testicles have been removed. This process is done to eliminate their ability to reproduce and to modify their potential aggressive behavior by completely removing their testicles. Wethers are often utilized for their grazing abilities to manage vegetation, helping to control unwanted weeds in pastures or specific areas. They can also be shown in various livestock shows and exhibitions, competing in showmanship classes to showcase their conformation and training. Wethers make excellent companions for other goats, livestock, or even as pets for humans due to their gentle and friendly nature. They are less aggressive and less smelly than bucks and thus better suited for a farm. Wethers do not go into heat and become hormonal like does and they don’t go into rut and stink like bucks. They are quite happy living among does and do not need to provide separate housing if you have other goats.
