I tried goat meat and didn't like it, but they make great salami or sausage...the taste is a lot different than beef. But we didn't like lamb either..I was told the taste is similar to lamb...After we tried eating the first one, they went to salami and not chops.

Angora's are not as big as some breeds of goat, you lose about 55% after butchering. Beef you lose about 45-50% in hanging weight...our 1600 pound angus hung at 750 pounds. She was spoiled and had quite a bit of fat, but tasty.

When I was growing up in the Southwest, you didn’t ask where the meat came from ;-). I like goat and lamb pretty well, especially if you really sauce up the goat. If you cook it for a day, it’s not even tough.

It’s been a long time since I had cabrito, but if we have the national economic collapse and have to move back to the farm, we’ll get used to it again.
