Goat meat has much less
saturated fat and higher levels of mono-
and polyunsaturated fat, a fact that can
be visually observed in the more liquid
goat fat drippings after cooking.
Less saturated fat and hence, less cholesterol
means a healthier red meat for you.
Goat meat has higher values
in iron, potassium, and thiamine together
with less sodium than traditional meats
here in the USA. 50% less fat than
beef, 45% less fat than lamb, 15% less
fat than veal, yet a great taste.
The goats we use are all
Boers or Boer crosses. We use them
because Boer goats, as a breed, are meat
goats. They have been raised for centuries
in Africa specifically for meat. They
are the “Black Angus” of the
goat industry and make the best tasting
meat. Boers have a fast growth
rate and are ready for market by
6 - 8 months old. That translates into
tender meat. The texture is similar to
pork, firm and meaty with no fat inside
the meat. The taste is similar to beef
or dark turkey.
