    Don't call it goat. Call it chevron. If I recall correctly that was the name used when it was being marketed.

    Cooked in the slow cooker with a can of chopped tomatoes, some herbs and red wine is very nice too.

    I leave the bone in when cooking the legs.

    Pierce the leg in several places and poke a clove of garlic into the cuts, Coat the outside with mixed herbs, Place the leg in a roasting bag or wrapped in foil in a roasting dish that has a lid add some sliced onions and a half a cup or so of red wine and cook it slowly over several hours.

    There's lots of recipe's on the net Google some up and give it a try.

    Just be prepared for People to screw their nose up and refuse to eat it once they know it is Goat Meat.

    My wife's snobby friend loved the Roast Goat Leg I did last Christmas ...... She's still telling everyone that was the best LAMB Roast she's ever had.

    Stock up on oven bags (can use them in the crock pot for super easy clean up too) and go crazy. I love goat with cous cous, Google is your friend and go crazy.

    I can't remember the last time I bought meat at the supermarket. Rabbit and hate can be Devine too.

    Yep.

    Like any animal, young equals tender.

    Throw it in a big pot & boil it for a couple of hours. The dog will love it & they don't get fat from eating it.

    Chevon rates highly in my family..... Was a bit nervous first time , tho I don't know why...even suprised the mother inlaw after eating wat she thought was lamb.
    I take meat from young animals preferably nannies and cook the rear wheels like a lamb hogget nice and slow on low and usually from frozen.... I like to salt the leg quite well and add a small amount of water just enough to cover the covered roasting dish and add a bit of fresh wild thyme seems to go pretty good.... The sweetest goat I've eaten came from up the side of the clutha river not far from Alexandra.... Straps can be cooked similar to venison I like my veni straps in a length about 6 to 8 inches long..cook it hard on high to sear then in a moderate oven for maybe 10 mins.... Always let meat rest for a time. Fillets are very good too

    Every time I have been on a stinky shooting mission I have thought that I would take a piece home and try it. Every time I have shot one I have thought I would rather have KFC
    Yet to try goat

    When in Wellington I was taking them out whole which kinda sucked smell wise but every scrap was fed to the dogs. (Now I have a raw food contact for dog food, so that's changed...)

    Andrew showed me a way to do goats just like how we've done rabbits and hares. Back steaks and back wheels, no need to gut...as long as you're knife doesn't slip eh @7mmsaum hahaha "Hey Dougie, just watch you don't cut the gut bag-" POP. Whoops. Anyway super quick and easy and you'll be home before tea with a pikau full of yummy, easy meat. I've perfected my de-silvering on goat meat. Get your knife under the sinue and then flip it over and fillet like a fish.

    I reckon for eating, cooking, preparing, shooting, gutting, learning how to hunt..goats are under-rated as to how much we can learn from them.

    I eat a fair bit of goat. I pick them just big enough to go in the bbq whole pat them down with spices either Moroccan or Mexican wrap some foil around it and slow roast. Take the foil off for the last 45 mins. Yum Yum. And when you can go and get 5 or 6 in a few hours of hunting they are good value.
