Question for the Meat Heads

[Bret44]

I'm getting a Goat butchered next week and I am wondering what the best way to cut it is? I know that I want like 25 - 50% of it in Goat Sticks and about 5lbs of Ground Goat, but I am not sure how I want it cut up for the retail cuts. Anyone have some suggestions?

The 5lbs of sticks will take half the meat so you might as well get a pair of steaks out of it.

Just roast it whole at your next tailgate.

Can't help you never have butchered or ate one.

I've had goat numerous times in TX and it was always delicious. Usually slow roasted or smoked and served like pulled pork. But I was never involved in cooking it so can't help you there.

Is goat better than lamb?

get a roast. or steak. Probably won't have much left.

Is goat better than lamb?

Pretty similar. Maybe a little more mineraly and less rich.

I like both quite a bit though.

I fried a farm grown lamb chop for the first time a few weeks ago. It was just grilled. However, being around lambs/sheep growing up, all I can remember is the musky smell and that's all I could taste/think of when I tried it. Whats the best way to prepare or try it?

I thought this thread was going to be about Bret turning into a muscle hamster.

I think it’s hard to say which is better since, to me, they can both be so variable among different animals. I’ve had both goat and lamb that were delicious, and goat and lamb I’ve spit out because of gaminess. Of course, the processing handling of the carcasses can play a large part too.

I totally thought this was a weight lifting thread or a thread about the muscle mass increase in all the college football refs
