Some years back, out kid raised a wether as a 4-H project. We named it 'Lunch', and although he understood the whole process/purpose (we ate it ourselves), he still cried when it was auctioned off at the fair. (I think it was because the other kids were crying over theirs, too.) The idea is that thay are a by-product of dairy goats, same as dairy beef. These days, however, most wethers I see are half boer, which is strictly a meat breed, and therefore (in my humble eyes) not truly dairy. Also, boers have too much fat for me. I prefer the lean dairy animals.
