Some of us gringos kinda like'em barbecued, too./w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif I had a few mixed breed goats here for awhile, but I had them in too small a pen and fed them too well, so I lost a little money./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif The Boer goats are everywhere in this part of the country now, though, but I don't know how well the owners do financially. I've heard that there's a lot more money made with goats than with cattle.
I've also read (don't know about the reliability of the source) that there's more goat meat eaten world wide than any other meat. One theory for the reason is that many parts of the world don't have adequate refrigeration to keep the meat from an animal as large as a cow, but they can butcher a goat and use all of it before it spoils.
For whatever reasons, though, having eaten goat meat a few times, I'd just as soon have that as beef myself.
