We are looking into growing goats and wonder if anyone has any idea what goat tastes like.
It is pretty good. I ate some at a Mexican guys house. He paid something like $120 for the goat and he basically got ripped off.
I have two goats in a big fence in my backyard just so I don't have to mow inside. They are the stupidest animals but they will eat every blade of grass that they can get to.
I don't think you can make much money raising goats. If you could make a profit of $15 - $25 per goat it would take a lot of goats to make any real money. It might be easier to just get a part time job.
I have been considering raising sheep for meat. I don't know why but I considered goat meat to be a "dirty animal" meat but I was amazed to find several things...
Goat is kosher.
Goat is far more healthy than the other red meats (beef, lamb etc)
Below is a chart from a webpage I found and WOW... goat even gives chicken a run for its money on saturated fats etc.

If you are selling goats, you will never go out of business if you are near any Jamaicans. Curry Goat is one of their staples. You can find it in any Jamaican restaurant and it is very good.

That is definitely true. But we are looking to raise them simply for our own consumption. We have chickens and might be adding goats soon. I met a guy this weekend in Hot Springs that has some pygmy goats that he is going to get rid of in January. We might get started then.

It turns out that we Western Civilization types are the last to get on the bandwagon with these goats.
I have read that Goat meat is the most consumed red meat in the world.
And they eat shrubs, weeds, the siding on your home... anything they can get to they will eat.
We have goats and chickens. We have the chickens for eggs, and the goats mow our pasture.
