The aim of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the butcher characteristics
of the type of animal commercialized. This study used the database of the National
Association of Raza Serrana Caprinicultores (ANCRAS) between 1998 and 2009, for live
weight, carcass weight and killing-out percentage. The main selling season of kids is for the
months of February to May to coincide with Carnival and Easter holidays. Regarding the kids
consumer destination it confirms that the restaurants are the highest consumers. Data
suggested a greater live weight of slaughtered between May and August compared to the
months from October to January (10.1 vs 8.4 kg, respect) to the corresponding carcass
weights of 5.6 and 4,7 kg. Carcasses preferred by restaurants are the heavier ones
