We started raising goats and sheep last year. We butchered two goat kids, but didn't get any lambs until last week.
My question is what do we do with the meat, lol? The two goats we butchered were pretty simple. We barbecued the hindquarters and backstrap, the rest was made into link sausage and hamburger. The wife wasn't too crazy about the ground goat, so im trying to think of what to do with the rest of the meat on our next one. Same with the sheep. I like leg of lamb and lamb chops, but there is more meat to use than that... |

I went to a BD party at a mexican guy's house once. They had a skinned goat spread eagle in a rectangular frame. This frame was suspended over a bed of coals roasting the goat for something like 6 hours. They would flip the frame 180 periodically and baste the goat in some sort of adobo sauce with spices in it. Delicious. ETA: They killed and skinned the goat right before they started cooking it. |

So you bought raised and slaughtered animals with no plans for the meat?
Sounds like a good idea. Ground lamb is much better than goat. You can use it in just about anything you would put ground beef in. Makes good burgers. The non main parts of the goat can be cubed and cooked in a slow cooker. Then added with rice and curry. There are a shitload of things you can do with both |

That should help make it a bit more palatable. |

Therein lies the profit part... |

Pit cook or roast them, shred the meat, add some good chile Colorado and make tamales (or find someone to make them for you). Goat makes great tamales!  Ive been thinking about getting my wife's mom and aunts to help me make tamales. They freeze well, so it would be a good backup meal. |

the shanks or neck in the crockpot with potatoes, garlic, onions, and carrots for 6 hours on low. Is good.
Crown roast with ribs. Stew meat out of whatever you don't grind. I butchered 2 lambs this year myself. Between those guys and the doe I got in November, I'm set for meat for most of the year. |

Lamb makes great roast, stew, meatballs, shepherds pie, lasagna.
Goat is amazing roasted, curry, jerk style, BBQ, tacos, tamales. Save the whole skinned head, smother it in chili powder and mojo, then smoke it over mesquite until done, crack it open and dig in with tortillas or garlic naan bread. I shit you not, the eyes are the best part, followed by the brain and the cheeks. |

Glue some horns on the skull, sell it to wannabe satanic hipsters |

Easter lambs will be worth 1.75/lb @ stockyard prices. Hogs right now are .41/lb. We raise cattle and sheep, but right now it is way more economical to sell the lambs and calves and get a butcher pig from an ag kid at the end of show season. Yes, they are doing really well. We already buy a hog every year, the sheep and goats are supplemental income, life experience for kids and something different to eat occasionally. Goat sausage is damn good, BTW. |

Mechoui'd lamb is better, though. |
