The USDA numbers are based on domestic slaughtering (600,000 head annually) and imported goat meat (~41 million pounds annually). I'm skeptical that there's hundreds of thousands of meat goats that the USDA can't track, which is what would be needed to shift those numbers.

Most of the people eating goat I know buy a living goat and butcher it themselves. USDA would never interact with that animal except on a farm census, which does not track anything but on-farm populations and sales receipts. No consumption statistics.
