Goat meat can be preapred to be very tasty!

I like South Asian or Caribbean-style goat curry.

That is what I would have done-a lesson in reality-but if the kid is that inclined to get attached to goats, etc, maybe letting her start with something like a small flock of chickens-get her some chicks-not so cuddly-and they are messy, too...

Sort of like the veal of the goat world …

“I think bidding was for meat of the goat, not the goat. The goat passes to buyer via the slaughterhouse. Perhaps the intention is humane, to avoid amateur butchering.”

The buyer can request that the animal not be slaughtered.

[TexasGator]

“Regardless of who buys the animal,even if she buys it herself at the final sale,the animal is in fact slaughtered.”

The winner can request that the animal not be slaughtered.

Repo is a civil matter. There was no loan or contract in dispute in the goat matter. Think of you having someone auction your car but you drive off with it.

Is goat as tasty as lamb?

Everyone has personal tastes. I absolutely love lamb, even more than beef. Goat is good, but to me it’s not as good as lamb.

“I gotta side with the kid on this one.”

She could have withdrawn before the auction. Once a winner is declared, possession goes to the organizer.

I suspect young children falling in love with the goat they are raising happens all the time. I also suspect most times those running the program just let it be. I think someone saw this as a chance to mess with the republican candidate and set everything in motion... no one democrat or republican wants to get caught in the optics of this and if running for office they would try to make themselves look to be the good person by letting the kid keep the goat.

Just started my very first hunt a few weeks ago. Folks I chat with know where to find it prepared properly. Does A-1 make goat sauce?

[Songcraft]

"Does A-1 make goat sauce?"

Not sure, but you might also want to look into "Angry Goat Black Garlic Baaaaaaa-b-q Sauce".

"One of the reasons they tell kids not to name food animals. Dogs, cats, horses, etc. = yes."
A number of years ago a friend gave me a goat with a deformed face that he didn't want to breed. I kept her in the back yards for years. She was very affectionate, would run over and nuzzle me to be petted. I finally had her put down when I found her unconscious and couldn't revive her. Her name was ironically Barbecue.

A nephew’s pet calf was named “Lunch”.

We had a Billy goat. I don’t think you want to eat Billy goat!

“Regardless of who buys the animal,even if she buys it herself at the final sale,the animal is in fact slaughtered.Those are the rules of the competition.”

I can post from multiple fair websites where this is not required.

They can be used for breeding or shown by buyer for advertising purchases.

I don’t have these fair rules but it is not a hard and fast 4-H rule.
