We rear out boys for our own consumption only, as I would not be able to make money on them, but the meat is out of this world.

Gave my OH braised chops for dinner yesterday. He said, "That was wonderful. Where did you get those lovely chops?"
"Out of the goat yard. They used to be Cassi."

Roasted leg of goat for Easter dinner tonight here...

Heres a true life website of people actually raising dairy kids for meat - I would say that any enterprise needs a lot of skill marketing and building a customer base. We went to the smallholder show at Thainstone and listened to a couple in Aberdeenshire who raised goats for meat (amongst other things ie nothing was wasted)
Im not sure if they contribute on here but you can find them on fb - Elchies farm. They were very inspiring and were excellent business people.
