I've never had goat but I'm tempted to eat Amos once I get him back (exchanged for Pippy and once Caramel has a baby). I don't need his loud, whiny neutered butt. I'd love to keep Pippy but that's not in the plans.
Do you butcher them yourself or take them somewhere? Have you done AI before?
I grew up with sheep. I can butcher a goat and have it in the fridge in 40 mins. Punching of the skin is very easy.
I buy 7 month old local goats for about $22. I make them NPO overnight and put a knife to it at 6am.
I have not done AI on a goat but have done a few on humans. Intrauterine Insemination. I would do a weekend course first.
