Every month or so we buy a goat, Live from Boca Chica highway, It gets weighed and sold accordingly. Take the animal home and feed it well for a month or 2 or more if you like, then when it is ready and the size you want, kill it and butcher it how you like. So you have not paid any more for the goat, you can buy it as a kid so very small and will cost next to nothing, it was sold at the price you paid for it a couple of months ago. Now you have your home grown meat, the animal has had a nice life while living on your land and will surely die a less stressful death than it would so it butchered roadside. If you didn't have bones in the meat it would lose flavour and Chivo without extras can be very very bland anyway. Besides that you can make lovely \Chivo Stock and freeze that for later use (fkc, am I sounding like Pi2, lol), than the dogs have a few days chomping away keeping them content. Win Win situation. Do the same with Pigs, but them small and keep them until you have a family get together and they are bigger.
