The goats weren't artificially inseminated. They were each studded, birthed a single kid each. I have 2 of them still, and the others were given away to other farmers (before my time). I am however considering starting a beef cattle operation and we'll have to deal with those issues soon. I think the solution is quality dual-purpose breeds (which is the solution for chickens) so that males can be eaten rather than destroyed. I don't know about you personally, but many people I have encountered who abhor the idea of eating meat have based their values on the state of the existing factory farming system- which is fine, opt out if you have to. But when given a choice to do it properly, it needs to be understood that it IS possible.
