YUMMMM!!!

Yesterday we went to a meat goat event. The Iowa Meat Goat Association held a Potluck at one of its members’ farms. Guess what the main course was? Goat, of course! And boy, was it GOOD. I don’t like lamb, venison, or anything else that is “gamey” like that. To me, goat meat tasted like a combination between beef and pork. Not as mild as beef, but really close. I had a nice big goat chop (B did, too). If you like beef and pork, you’ll like goat. It’s much leaner, and better for you. A nutrition comparison is below:




If you try goat, you’ll want to be sure you eat Boer goat (meat goat) as it has a milder flavor than some of the dairy breeds. That’s why most customers of chevon ask for Boer or Boer crossed goats for butchering.

Watch out Ernie, I’ll eat you myself if you get too sassy!! You’ll taste good all roasted up…

On a side note, we did tour the facilities, and we were impressed. We were happy, though, because we saw that our facilities are very nice as well. We have seen some shabby places, and while we don’t have heat, bathroom facilities, or cement floors in our barn, we do have a nice setup. I think we will buy some baby girls this spring.
