Does anyone eat goat?

[moonlitfarms]

I am pondering on purchasing an extra wether this year to feed out and butcher. I have never eaten goat meat before. So tell me what does it taste like and how does it cook up (greasy, lean etc)

I have had it before and thought it was very good. Go for it!

I likes it lots!!! It is a sweet meat if that makes sense to you.

My jamaican neighbor looks for some goat meat. She wants to make curried goat or something like that.

Thanks, so would it be similar to beef or maybe deer?

I've had it and it was great. They BBQ it and it was kind of like brisket but a little more dense. Very tasty. Do it.

not like deer...more like pork

Had it every day in the carribean, curried.

In a roll up sandwich or with rice and beans.

Excellant.

The local Farmers Market sells it here and sells out of it quickly.

My sister raises Boer goats in New York State and we often have curried goat when I visit. I found it to be "rich" and a bit gamey, but it is "sweet" as someone else mentioned. The flavor will also depend on the age when the animal is butchered. My sister has a lot of Jamaican friends and she has so many recipes - not a scrap goes to waste.

It is a very good meat, just like other meats, it's all in the preparation, as well as the feeding of the animal. And yes goat meat is just like venison, not as gamey but the two side by side you couldn't tell much difference. It is awesome, go for it. And for the feed to meat ratio, as well as the short time to slaughter they are alot more economically correct than beef.
