Goat meat is really hard to find in the US. Plenty in Monterrey, Mexico where it is a favorite and worth a trip there just for a taco or two. But you mention bbq and to me that is barbacoa, and that is made from lamb. You can buy leg of lamb in almost any good supermarket. So... what is the final dish you are looking for? An American bbq such as spare ribs and a lot of gooey ketchup and honey sauce... a Monterrey Cabrito al Horno and tacos... Barbacoa estilo Texcoco... or? Wayne |

Try contacting your local feed coop or livestock store to find if they know of anyone raising goats in your area and contact them. The best goat is the grass fed home grown variety. The farmers are very skilled at preparing the goat themselves and the meat is less stressed when killed by those who raised the goat rather than strangers or a packing plant. |

In your experience, do a lot of Anglos raise and butcher goats for meat? I'm not trying to start a racist debate here or be judgemental or pretend that Anglo culture is superior to Mexican culture, but it just seems to me that only Mexicans would actually butcher a goat for the meat. I've eaten birria made with goat before, in SoCal taquerias and I like it if it's made with young goat or lamb. That birria I got at Los Burritos in Hollywood was made from an old billygoat and was greasy and gamey tasting, but the birria de chivo I ate in Ventura across from the mission was good. It seems to me like Anglos keep goats for pets for their children (or for their own inner child) or for the milk, not for the meat. My mother used to buy goat milk when I was a child and churn it for the goat butter, but I never ate goat meat until I was middle aged. My Mexican neighbors raise goats and they have "se vende chivos" signs out along the highway. The population around here is probably 2/3rds Mexican. As I drive along the roads of the rural San Joaquin valley, I can see many small herds of goats in pens on little rancherias that have tumbledown barns and sheds. Goats are just everywhere. There are just too many to be pets. The Mexicans must be eating a lot of goat around here. I shall have to explore some more taquerias to see what's on the menu... |

I've not posted before but in certain parts of the midwest i.e.: northeast Missouri, many Anglos raise meat goats now and sell them on hoof to mostly the Mexican population which, from what I understand, many times butcher the goats there on the property themselves. This sustainable niche market is gaining popularity among the Anglo farmers trying to find ways to keep ahead.

I've recently moved to central Iowa. It's a small world. The meat goat niche market has been going on for at least 7 or 8 years in Putnam, Schuyler, Scotland and many other counties in Missouri as well as Iowa and gaining momentum to regions north. This maybe more widespread, this is only the areas I know of for sure. Meat goats are becoming very popular as is the meat sheep variety (can't recall the spelling right now). There has been a section devoted to meat goats for many years in the Missouri Livestock Symposium. JB |

Here in Queens, NY you can buy goat meat in about every butcher shop and chain grocery. Granted, living in the most ethnically diverse county in the US has it's advantages .. Are "Anglos" (such an offensive, racist term) eating more goat meat than in the past is not really the question here. The real question is whether or not Americans are eating more goat, and the answer is, obviously, yes! Mediterranean Americans eat a lot of goat and lamb, as do Central and South Americans, Caribbean Islanders, and Asian Indians. I've never really thought of goat as an "exotic" meat, even growing up and living in the the Midwest. While my mother never prepared goat for our family, it was readly available in Ohio and, even, in predominantly "scandihoovian" Minnesota. It was just seen as an inferior alternative to beef and pork--an "Anglo" bias, I suppose. Personally, I love goat and never really thought about Americans keeping goats as pets for their children. I am not disputing this fact, but I'm just wondering where in the US that this is prevalent? Don't get me wrong, I love playing with goats at the various childrens' zoos here in NYC, But like the potbelly pig, I can't help but rub their head and tell them, I just ate their cousins in a birani or with swiss on rye. |
