Lambs are usually killed before they are one year old and eaten by humans.
Although the male goat kids are often culled because they will never produce milk, they are sometimes castrated instead and allowed to remain in the herd as a "wether". With a bell around its neck, such a "bellwether" is usually the leader for the rest of the herd.
