Nice to see some people are interested..
I happen to be into, well, everything. This is just one more endeavor, meat goats.
These two aren't for eating, they're really pets, but they are the start of my herd.
They're Spanish crosses, so her udder is pretty much nonexistent. I could probably get half a gallon a day from her, but there is no sense taking that from the baby.
I raise and sell chickens at the moment. Starting to raise pastured goats too, just seems like it could go well.
This is just the beginning, Id like to go big with it, Goats running through the banana mats, cant go wrong..
As for the taste: the milk is a little tart to me, I don't drink milk anyway, but I think making it into cheese people will take it.
The meat on the other hand! The problem is the only goat meat most have ever had is old, 6,7,8 year old spent dairy goats! If its actually raised for meat its much younger, only a few months, and depending on how its cooked, you could mistake it for beef.
And the stereotypes of goats eating everything in sight. I haven't found it to be true. Very much the opposite, they can be very picky.
The best of all is they don't like banana leafs, they like the fruit though.
Everyone should have a few goats.
Thanks guys, I will post some new pictures.
