butchering

Boy with all those options, I want have any trouble figuring out what to do with this wether. I have a eight month old that I haven't fixed either so he may also go in the pot. So many good ideas on how to use the meat! Thanks again.

just one more comment. The rule of thumb around here for cooking sheep or goat is :

LOW and SLOW

Low and long heat. It just falls off the bone. mmm mmm mmmmmmmm

we butchered our 2 goats today... got 43.5 lbs of meat. I thought that was good.. so it comes out to about $1 a pound. can't beat that!

Very good return indeed. We don't pellet feed and grain ours with whole grains. I couldn't say it could be certified organic but it's as close as we can get to it without knowing what's in the co-op purchased grain. The point being the same meat purchased in the local health food store would be quite substantial in price. To me this is a very great + to the lifestyle, for the labor involved etc.

We didn't feed any grain. well, maybe some cracked corn from the local elevator. But, 90% of thier diet was horse weeds & grasses. So, they earned their keep by eating all the weeds & keeping the grass mowed.
