The folks I know of are near cities with large muslin populations. They are doing better with goats than they did with cows, and it is all cash sales, no auction houses involved.
About 30 years ago, many of these farmers raised hogs. A large producer bought up all the pig market houses, and shut them down. Funny that you can’t make money with hogs now, but you can with goats.
Can’t they do anything with higher-end artisanal pigs for charcuterie and such? There seems to be a lot of that around.
Interesting. We live not far from San Bernardino, which I’m certain you have heard of, and there is quite a large Muslim population I understand there. One might think the old guy raising his goats would have already turned to that market.
Personally not interested in goats. They really stink. At least the ones we had contact with to the North of us about twenty years ago. I’ll stick with my horses. They are enough work, and their smell isn’t as bad as goats by far.
