We used to eat our own goat (& lamb, pork & beef) but with goat I always found it a bit tough except for roasts. We gave up eating red meat last year though. Might have some lambs to go to, but would want to sell them. The goat kid is a freebie if you want him.

Just making sure I got somewhere to keep him and feed him and love him and squeeze him, just before he goes to slaughter.

Most Halal butchers would have goat and I think next time I make this it will be goat meat only.

Jacks outback cook book has a roast goat recipe, I'll dig it out

good job megomonster next time in asian grocery store
get some curry leaves and put in about 12 when frying onions and at
the end of cooking the hole curry add some coriander (fresh)
we eat curry all the time as my wife is indian and love it she also said not to marinate meat first
because when you brown the meat it burns the curry paste

Here you go Mego, I've named him Josh (as in Rogan Josh) in your honour. He's yours if you want him, but no pressure to take him. The 'lid' on the ground is the top of a 200litre drum, to give you a sense of his size.

That's plenty big enough, we used to have goats and they all had twins so doubled the herd first year. I'd done a farm butchery course so decided to try one and was very impressed. Nice and lean and we just used lamb recipes, we often ate goat after that.
Like Cuppa we also gave them suitable names, had lambs named lambchop, a steer we named TBone, etc. never worried my kids as it was part of country life.
Also as kids we had a farm so nothing was wasted, we had a hand separator for milk, made our own butter etc. can't recall my parents going to the supermarket. And it was a great life as a kid, worked hard but really enjoyed it.
Just remembered an old timer telling me when he was a kid they used to have curries when the meat started to 'hum' , no fridge then.
