I've never met a goat that did not complain about the service!

Goat is pretty tasty. I was raised as a hunting girl though and I'm the one that does all the butchering around here. My husband has only killed things out of mercy. (they ran over a snake at work, etc)

I'm the knife wielding maniac 'round these parts. (L) I actually have a side hobby teaching people how to butcher at home.

Wish you lived around here! I have 2 young roos I need to butcher. I've been trying to find someone that knows how to teach me since I do better w/learning that way than from videos, written instructions, etc but have had no luck. So, I guess I'm just going to have to wing it.

RUN Henrietta23 RUN!!!! She eats GOATS!!!

Hey!

Excuuuuuuse me??? Are you calling me a goat??

I don't mind if she eats her goats, or anyones goats, just not MY goats. So there. I'm just a big chicken about processing anything. Admittedly, I did save my Thomas from going to freezer camp, but after he knocked my on my keester in the slush tonight.... that smoker of yours is looking like a good idea MP. (I'll be over it in the morning though...)


What kind of goats do you have?

Hello from NE Ohio! and

 

[deb4o]

and shhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone but I raise a goat to eat every year.

We have Nubians. One of my does is bred to a big beautiful LaMancha buck though. (Hopefully it takes. She was having some fertility issues)

My plan is to freezer camp the boys and I have a buyer lined up for the does.



The kombucha still smells/looks good but it's been less than 24hours. The sauerkraut is now totally covered in brine and hopefully we'll see bubbles soon.
