Yeah ... but I was shocked to see the goat numbers compared to beef. I know it's a "world" calculation but still, I didn't think it would be so dramatic. I've never eaten goat. I guess it must be delicious or a very good economic choice.

Good stuff!

I'm not a big fan of goat meat (or any meat for that matter) but I sure like goat cheese. Excellent stuff!
