I have had goat brain before... never the meat. The brain taste like a fried egg/marsh mellow. As far as caring for.... I hated keeping my goats in a fence.... they are crafty little devils and find a way to get out. The lambs I have now are trained on one hot wire about chest level...
That's good news.... I'm going to start looking for a good breeder than. It's odd that most good meat animals are almost always a cross. So how is a lamb finished on pasture compared to one finished on hay, grain, and pasture?
I have Katahdins and they are doing really good. I agree they are on the light side. I think after I get enough breeding stock on the ground I might purchase a couple dorper rams to cross. Anyone try that cross? I really want to keep the hair thing going as I hate sheering sheep.
I love lamb, can't wait until I have lambs this spring but like the above post... the market is so good for lamb you hate to eat them! Have to pay your bills first. But I agree the wast is 50% but then you have bone to pick through, so I would have to say 35% is actual edible meat of live weight...
