Goat is yum, but is that $36 kg for a sholder?
-
Pretty rough price for sure, not many goats in Vic maybe?

Yeah, not exactly cheap is it.
It came out fine. I took it off at 145-150F internal (depending where I put the probe) and let it rest. It's the texture of l,amb and not tough but definitely chewy. Maybe since it's a shoulder I should have gone the whole way and done a real low and slow up to break down point ?
Verdict - I'd buy it again but wouldn't go out of my way to do so.

was the meat to bone ratio similar to lamb? Have used goat in curries,great flavour but the cuts always seem boney

Yes, a lot of bone and fatty bits compared to the amount of meat. I cut it in chunks rather than trying to slice and finding a spot for the meat probe away from any bone wasn't easy. It's much smaller than lamb so I only rteally got two good size chunks out of it, although that was plenty for the two of us. You can see the two chunks I got in the photo after I sliced it down the centre to check doneness.

From the size (although pics can be miss leading sometimes), it looks to be fairly small, so perhaps quite young.
Goat for some reason seem to be knocked off younger than lamb. I say give them a chance to get to a decent size and actually have a decent amount of meat on them.

Only ever had a goat curry, at an Indian place at Perth a few years back. Was the star dish

Not many abbatoirs take goat for slaughter as it displaces lamb. Much of the goat on the market is male goats born into the milking herds. Typically they are either killed at birth, or very young. Milk fed goat is an Italian delicacy, capretto, and is typically done with a sauce as the meat doesn't have a lot of fat, or flavour.

So the question is, can it be cooked low and slow like lamb shoulder and get to the point where it falls apart ?

That is a very interesting question. An older goat, yes, but one so young I don't know.
How much does the muscle change over time with more work? Or is the makeup of the muscles there from word go?

Yes, can be done low and slow. Treat it like a lean lamb and you'll be fine.Top quality goat is better than top quality lamb IMHO. Exquisite flavour

Volume wise, I'm not sure, but Population wise, 62% of the worlds population eat Goat: Goat Consumption
-
I read that same blog, from 7 years ago, as well as something else, from 9 years ago, which suggested 62% of all meat consumed was Goat.

It's truly the Greatest Of All Time.

Hi Bear,
Have you tried Damara lamb? Although they do look and act a bit like goats. Dorper is more popular here as a meat breed, and is what we have on the farm, but we used to have damara and to me they are nicer.
Often you don't know what the breed is when you buy lamb, and it could be anything, but if you can get dorper or damara go for that.

yes, definitely!
Here's a shoulder I smoked to pulled.
I also did took some goat legs to pulled to do goat sliders for a mountain goat functionExternal Content www.instagram.comContent embedded from external sources will not be displayed without your consent.Through the activation of external content, you agree that personal data may be transferred to third party platforms.
