Find an abbatoir, ask them if they do goats, if they can do sheep they can do goats, book them in, load goats, fill in movement form, take them and let them do the dead

Unless you can cut the carcass up yourself, make sure you have a butcher organised. I have found one abattoir that happily does my goats, but the butcher attached to it will not touch them...

We prefer to do ours ourselves, but we do not sell any meat (officially)....

There is only one abattoir around here that will do goats, they all do sheep  though ::)
Ours charges us £35 to kill and cut. we take them in on a Sunday Morning and collect the Meat on a Friday Afternoon
