I forget but it seemed like a three or four pound passel for not too steep.. I forget/didn't take/make full note of it.Haven't tried buying it there, but I work with mostly Indians (a lot of Indians in IT) and I really like their goat meat dishes. That said, the chicken and lamb are good too - I just prefer the goat.
If I could spend more time at home I would raise goats for meat, but from what I have read you don't want to leave goats alone for very long as they can get into trouble.
Thanks for the info - I will have to get some.
What was the price per pound?
I'm no goat whisperer or wrangler (never personally kept goats) but lots of my extended family has and if memory serves, a simple/standard 4' high, 4" "hole" hog fence (without a top rail) will generally keep them in place. Of course if you have trees etc. with draping or extending limbs, all bets are off. it's really not a big deal though generally. just eat them before they go/get all Houdini..If I could spend more time at home I would raise goats for meat, but from what I have read you don't want to leave goats alone for very long as they can get into trouble..
Most lamb come from Australia/New Zealand also and ship tonnage costs money. Indeed.. it must be a simple matter of money/demand/environment if you can imagine that.Kind of strange to be importing it from Australia when probably a third of the rural homes around these parts have goats running around.
Speaking of Australia...has anyone ever tried kangaroo meat? I'd like to but I have never seen any for sale anywhere.
My property has lots of trees and brush - that is one reason why I would like some goats. Right now though I don't really have the time to care for any animals.I'm no goat whisperer or wrangler (never personally kept goats) but lots of my extended family has and if memory serves, a simple/standard 4' high, 4" "hole" hog fence (without a top rail) will generally keep them in place.

I hear you. I'd like an aviary for the fun of it, a coop and critters on the hoof. It's easy to buy stuff from the store.. and now goat!My property has lots of trees and brush - that is one reason why I would like some goats. Right now though I don't really have the time to care for any animals.
I was talking to my neighbor about goat meat just a few days ago. He said he'd eaten it in the mid-east yrs ago and the closest thing he could compare it to was black tail deer. I'm going to have to try it.(snip) It tastes like the very best venison. (snip)
I knew some Portuguese down around Paso Robles long ago.. they pit BBQ'd (hole in the ground) a horse head.. it was very good. Some time later, me and some buds tried it on our own and kinda got too drunk or something and didn't bother digging it up.Had some good Portuguese friends in Santa Maria Kalifornia that would pit barbecue whole goats , fall off the bone goodness..Miss those days.....
