jigsaw 11,899 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I put this up on General but not much of a response.Anyone taken young ferral goats for consumption?I have to cull a load of them and just wondering how big should I leave them before I take some?Can the adults be eaten or are they :sick: How long should they be hung or can you stick them straight in the freezer?And last question whats the best way of cooking?Should I treat it just like lamb?Never tried it before hence all the questions.

spiderpig 39 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 treat them like a roe or a lamb, try to get them as fat as possible too if that can happen,taste nice mmmm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I've only had experience with domesticated goats, but they were mountain goats and hardy little things. Don't try and eat the old ones: smelly and tough as old boots! We used to eat the male kids by the time they were 6 months old maximum: very tender. Cook like lamb. I suppose you could always hang female adults like you would venison, but I've never tried it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,899 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thanks guys,is it obvious as to their age?Suppose looking at them I'll know Anyone ever eat an adult female? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Countryboyo Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Jigsaw ive raised kid goats in the past but never for meat. If you capture a few kids I could rear them for you and send them back fat. I need a bit of rough ground cleared and as you probably already know, them fuckers would eat anything.

My dad killed an old billy in our back garden in the early 50s,in those days nothing went to waste and there were no freezers so we ate it till it was gone ,50 odd years later i can still taste it, its was vile :sick: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scent 509 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 jesus jigsaw i know we are in the middle of a recession but eating goats ,surely the bunnies would be a better option Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephOC 6 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Had a few female goats slaughtered in Norway a few years ago. They weren't fattened or finished though, so not a lot of meat on them, but cooked in casserole or curry they tasted lovely. To be honest, I wouldn't touch a Billy goat - they stink so badly!
