I am not a red meat eater and I support those who homestead with animals. It is reality. Great to see your family living and learning. Great video Daniel!
I couldn’t kill my babies just because I got so attached to all of them, but I am going to make milk, cheese, and soap off of them hopefully! 🤞🏼 but I don’t understand why people get so upset about people killing animals. Most people especially where I’m from buy animals to raise them up and either kill them for meat or use them for things such as milk, cheese, soap, etc! Definitely nothing wrong with feeding your family
I do understand that. My goats are pets. I couldn't and wouldn't eat them. I do plan on using them for dairy in the future. I plan on selling babies. I don't care if others raise them to eat. Just not for me.
You can feed your family via many other things instead of killing other animals and there babies.. Fruits vegetables cereals are discarded part of plants if you don't eat them,they will get rotten
Landon Claeary That's a brilliant question you pose there. Who is the idiot of which I refer? Let's step back, take a deep breath, and think this thing over. First off, we see this guy comes out of the gate asking " how could you" ....The entire 11min 29sec video was solely devoted to answer that one question. That was exactly how he could do it!!! So there's our first sign of idiocy.....missing the neon sign saying this is how I do this! Next we see that the subjects of the video are called "baby" goats by said idiot. These goats were virtually full grown although still young. The equivalent of teenagers of the goat world....these goats would view such a one with pure distain that would call them babies!! So there's our second sign of idiocy. So with an 0 & 2 count, the third and last pitch comes to the plate....... and wow!!! Said idiot doesn't know why he subscribed to the currently watched channel!! Well lets see if we can figure this out. He was held at gunpoint and forced to subscribe.....no.....that's not it. Wait....while he was distracted by a door to door salesman an alien from outer space hit the subscribe button and ........no.....that's not it. Hmmmm Would it be possible that said idiot hit the subscribe button with his own finger...on his own accord, under his own power? And folks we have a winner!!!! Said idiot knowingly subscribed to a channel devoted to farm life, hunting, and feeding the family through natural methods! Yes Mr Landon...You and you alone are the idiot in question. It was quite a feat to get three undeniable strikes in such a small couple of questions....but somehow you managed!!! So congratulations Mr idiot! There are currently 53 responses to your brilliant comment.... mostly due to the fact that it was pinned to the top by the one I referred to as a genius. It wasn't pinned there because of its stellar quality.....but rather because it was so unbelievably out of touch with reality and reason! It was a textbook poster child of idiocy. I've never seen the worst and dumbest comment pinned before....but it was a brilliant move that put the spotlight on the idiot of the day!! YOU!!!!!!!!

From NZ - I shot feral and escaped farm goats, mostly for working dog meat, but the best I kept (and/or shared) for making stews and curries. Absolutely wonderful! Tasty, but not strong, and very low in fat. I tried roasting goat, but it wasn't right. Reading other comments made me realise I could have done so much more with the meat.
In my opinion you can't put a price on something you've raised compared to store bought meat that's from God only knows were it's from or what's been put in it.
Quite a few years ago I raised goats, ducks, geese, chickens and even did a cow on three acres. I was sceptical of eating goat but after doing it I loved it.

Hi Daniel. I understand about raising meat goats. The first time I had goat was back in 1982. I was dating a police officer, and he took me to a party. Someone had made a large pot of curried goat. Let me tell you...IT WAS DELICIOUS! She said her parents owned a small farm and they raised Boar(sp?) goats for meat. I guess they were homesteaders outside of Cleveland. Anyway...everytime I go back, she tries to have some for me. My family turn their noses up at it. My daughter says "how can you like goats so much and still eat them?" I tell her because they are so cute, and I want goats as pets when I retire (milk goats) and maybe have one butchered yearly that is for food. I like chickens too...but I'll still eat 'em :)
35% to 55% is the typical dress weight for Goat. I think you did very well. I totally agree with your opinion of where it came from, how it was fed, and what kind of life it had before it's final day. Great video. Thank you.
One thing for sure, no one and nothing gets out of here alive. Daniel's animals are well cared for and have good quality lives. They were purpose raised and unless you're a vegetarian, the meat you eat was raised and slaughtered. The difference is, you don't know how it was treated or what it was fed.
Tried goat once, a friend had some at a cookout. Tasted pretty good. You know what your goats ate so that's much better for you than other meat you buy at the grocery store. GOD BLESS ARMS FAMILY HOMESTEAD FAMILY.
You answered my questions, Daniel, thank you.I ate goat once, but it wasn't a fair trial. Seems I enjoyed it just fine until I found out it was Jeffrey, a goat I cared for myself for a couple weeks.
Doing the processing at home will be much more satisfying! Just like a deer, we process our own. My wife has become quite adept at taking apart a front shoulder since mom taught her how many years ago. I just salvaged what I could from a small deer that was hit on my road. Maybe two weeks worth of meat for us. Keep these great videos coming and maybe we will venture south on a road trip! I'd like to talk more about your farm and see it in person! Be safe out there!!
This is why we raise our own Meat. It’s not about the $ we “Save” raising our own meat. But we know what it eats, how it lived... and Yes it is still a very “reasonable” price for meat when you compare it to similar quality meat you could buy. We raise geese, ducks, turkey, rabbit and chicken for our freezer here and I have Dairy goats. (5 due to freshen in May... That’s A lot of goats for us!) We are planning on having our buck butchered in spring after he’s done breeding our does and isn’t in rut anymore, and keeping and wethering any males born this season. (Not as cost effective as raising a meat breed but I am considering getting a meat buck to use next breeding season on my does) We had goat before from a friend (Boer) and it’s fantastic! we where quoted about $100 to get our guy done... time is a factor for us as well sending him to the butcher vs doing it at home, about the price to have a deer done. Great Video 👍
If my math is right that's 4 bucks a lb, not counting the raising cost. When you consider that steaks are a lot more than that, and full of hormones and anti-biotics, its either close to same cost or slightly cheaper for 100% higher quality meat.
Oh I forgot. I was wondering if you ever had this problem. Both kids were born with their front feet folded under. They couldn’t walk. They tried but couldn’t. I had an idea and got some popcicle sticks and put one on each side and wrapped each ankle with gauze etc. after a day or so and with my little girl making sure they had everything they needed. Their ankles got strong so we took off the splints. Did you ever have that problem?
Hello. We had it easier than most. My husband was a ranch butcher and we had two toggenbergs, if I’ve spelled that right. They gave good milk and he raised 2 drop calves on it and they were outstanding veal. Myself I didn’t like goat milk, the kids were ok with it but later didn’t like it. The baby goats (kids) were adorable and my daughter cared for them. Later the neighbors dogs got out and killed both goats and my rabbits. We didn’t bother with raising them or the rabbits after that. We raised some hogs which he butchered. That was a real saving. I enjoyed your video very much. You covered a lot of information very well.
Sorry, was reading the comments, and I think some people just have no idea where their food comes from. If you buy nothing but what's in stores instead of raising or growing it, you have no idea what chemicals/ pesticides have been used...even in the grass fields... ever wonder why people are coming down with allergies and such? My grandmother used to ask " Allergies?... how did the kids developed allergies? In my day kids rarely had things like that!" So, sorry, got distracted from the question I wanted to ask you Daniel, and that is, how do you decide which goats are going to be processed out?
I’ve never eaten goat, but my husband has and he said it’s delicious. I’m glad y’all posted this I found it interesting, and i didn’t find it particularly expensive to have processed.
That thumbnail picture offends me!! Not because you have a pistol, not because your aiming it at them poor goats, but because you're left handed!! LOL Not really offended. Some goat chops and goat tacos sounds good!! *Have a good'nnn*
Goat meat is really good. Growing up in Nepal, I have been eating since I was a kid. I would recommend you try cooking Indian style curry but don’t blame me if you get addicted to it. You should be able to locate Indian grocery stores near you and buy all species you need and most people are really helpful and would be willing to help you pick the right stuff. Let me know if you have further questions.
I don’t know if I can butcher them after raising them 😔. But then again I don’t eat goat....I think I’ll do dairy goats instead for milk and butter and cheese...
We’ve got all of our does due to kid within the next 2 months. We’ve actually never ate goat, but after the kids pick out their goats for the fair I think we’re gonna raise one for the freezer. I’ve looked high and low for a video like this. Thanks for the information Daniel!!
I had my first goat July 4th at a BBQ in 1973. It was pulled just like pork BBQ. Everybody stared at me as I took the first bite. It was delicious! After I’d finished my meal, they asked if I knew what I’d eaten. It didn’t matter, it was really good. They figured a city girl wouldn’t like it. 😁
I'm a fan of goat meat mostly my favorite is with curry and coconut milk I usually just order it from a Jamaican restaurant I've never cooked it myself
We have eaten goat and it’s very good. We roasted a leg, similar to leg of lamb. I did marinade it with lime and garlic overnight. Your chops would probably be good that way. Carnitas spice mix would also work on them. Goat is used in a lot of Mexican cooking. Good information on the carcass breakdown. Thank you.
FEED THE FAMILY WITH WHAT YOU RAISE ON YER FARM! I really enjoy your vids, and for a cop, man, yer an awesome family man. MERRY CHRISMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
well i am sure you know all cops are worse then any criminals,, just for starters they rad pit parties and steel all the beer from the under age and have there own party later, same with any smoke.. every week you see in the new about some cop did this or that and is in jail and been suspended with pay until his/her trial but that the last you ever hear about it, or chef of police was raided in a hook shop but nothing more is ever said
@@vichaven1795 i love people like you thats why this page was made just for your kind liveplayeat.com/people-who-point-out-grammar-mistakes-are-jerks/?fbclid=IwAR1ZHr6-AVrecl26uIeoDU4cNl7QvW0vHQayAHZHi3opt5I0BK0qCV-DqU0
Processor in DFW area charges me $35 per goat but it’s not packaged fancy like this, it all in one big bag and I have to package it in zip lock bags, so I guess it’s not bad price.
Thanks Daniel and yes I have eaten goat quite a bit. Even here in Oklahoma the better Mexican restaurants have goat and it is delicious. Yes it is not available in grocery stores so I have never cooked it but growing up in Louisiana my neighbor raised 2 goats a year but roasted it over a open fire it was great.
I'm new to the channel, but I have chickens butchered every year because of 4h. Nothing more satisfying then raising your own food. 6 always go to auction for someone, and the rest stay on the farm and are sent later to fill our own freezer or a relative.
Goat meat is one of the tastiest meats there is. Beef, pork and venison pale in comparison. To really appreciate it, Curry would be it’s best accompaniment.
Very informative...I love your videos and learn alot. Never saw a video about butchering and you handled this very well. Most people who eat meat don't think twice about how the meat was raised. You get a thumbs up from me.👍
When I lived in New Mexico, many years ago, my Hispanic boyfriend's father would roast a whole kid in the ground overnight. Most tender, succulent meat I've ever eaten!
My friends used to manage a section (640 acres) of citrus in SoCal and every May 5th the workers workers would roast in ground a goat - best ever meat; melt in your mouth and no knife needed to cut it.
I'm from Mexico and goat meat is delicacy it's very good for your health and very tasty I like your videos and are very helpful I recently bought 3 goats 2males and one female hope I can learn and enjoy these beautiful animals hopefully I hope I never have to butcher them but if times get hard I will to feed my family . I love farm animals hopefully soon I will buy property to move up to cattle . Thank you for your videos .
@Landon Claeary, How could you you? Well it's quite simple really. You have a family that needs to eat. You have goats that need a purpose. You raise the goat to feed the family. Win win. That's how. Sorry but how could you is an ignorant question. I have yet to even try goat. Because I live in a suburban area our stores too don't offer it. But I'm just as excited to try it as the Arms Family is. Just knowing the way your food was made, or lived is far more beneficial than walking into a store and hoping you get a good choice of meat. Thanks for the video. Sorry again for the rant.
you dont get a get a good choice of meat, every commercial animal/ bird has a inserted growth hormone slow releases capsil like thing inserted under its skin to speed up growth, at 8 to 10 weeks old, i know this first hand as were i worked i had to do it
@Landon Claeary news flash most meat sold in stores is under a year old, or was older breeder that got sick, and was sent down the line ending up on your table
My dad had stomach problems he couldn't hardly eat beef or pork and when we butchered a goat he started eating a lot better his stomach with a size of a two year old and he was a heavy set man and after he had 3/4 of a stomach to connect he couldn't hardly eat but we raised our own goats and butcher them for him
Hey I’ve never eaten goat meat! But I love deer tenderloin steak! We soak ours in water over night till the next evening just keep emptying the water and add more water to the bowl! It gets the blood and wild taste out. I even dip ours in mustard then dip in flour! Sounds odd but it’s delicious! Makes me want to take some deer steak out! Have a blessed day!
Like I know this is how you get meat and I love meat it’s still just sad because goats have a special place in my heart. But I support what you do it’s just something I could never do as an animal lover.
Don't know why people watch a Homesteading channel and then troll when people have animals processed to feed their family's. Any one who buys meat in a grocery store and eats it, it's the same thing people. As Daniel said, at least he knows how the goats were raised, treated and processed. To me, goat tastes like a tame whitetail deer. Thanks for the video Daniel.
Goat meat is called Chevon. It is healthier than beef or pork. It's delicious 😋. When I raised goats, I butchered the bucks that were turned into wethers and kept the does for milk.
It is hard to find goat meat, but I find it lean and tasty. Make the chops like lamb chops. Ground goat can be substituted for ground beef. Goat stew or goat curry is great, too! Free-range goats from Daniel’s farm had a great life and are probably better for his family’s health and the health of the planet, compared to store-bought meat. Thanks for sharing the details on the process, cost, and output!
thats because all the Italians grab it all up, the only people around here that raise goats are the Italian old ladies but they have past on so goats are getting hard to find any more
I love your channel i stumbled upon it and i have can't stop watching i was able to buy my first piece of land about 3 months ago i am in the process of moving my small farm of a half acre to my new homestead of 7 acres.i get alot of information out of what you post especially the got videos that is one animal i know little about i know more now because of your videos thanks for all the great videos
Agreed 100% you know how they lived, how they were treated and what they ate. We use our wethers for meat. I keep dairy goats, Oberhasli the boys do get fairly large. I do process them and the steers myself.
Goat roast is very good especially bar b q!! My husband and I live in Colorado we just signed a contract on a small farm in Collinsville,Ok. My two son and there family live round the area. Because of the trouble times we wanted to be close to family and be a little more self sufficient. We are having goats and chickens first. We love watching your videos. It's going to be nice to be back home in Oklahoma!!
You can always turn some of those chops into soup and stew! Now I'm hungry! I always get the bones and make bone broth. Then you process it in jars and store it for later.
I miss my goats and there meat is mild and you don't want to butcher a buck there meat is stronger than a weather. I enjoy your channel and watched many of your shows. I raised goats for over 45 years. My goats were dairy goats. I miss them there is so much they added to our family.
Thanks for this information, great video, have been watching lots of your videos yesterday and today. Loving all your videos and the information in them.
Some friends from my church and I helped some refugees from Nepal ( near India), and they eat goat a lot in their country. We could not find any in our stores . We even had trouble finding lamb . That was over 4 years ago . We told them to try turkey , but of course it was a far cry from those lamb or goat . Funny thing , they would NOT eat beef as they worshiped the cows!
I’ve never had goat meat. I’ve had venison and besides it tasting gamey, I thought it had a strong blood taste. I’m a city girl and none of the grocers or restaurants have goat meat anywhere near Chicago! It looks wonderful to be able to fill your freezer with so much protein and know where it came from.
In Afghanistan a grass fed goat may cost you around 120 USD and 10 Dollars to pay for the butcher. Afghanistan is a meat heaven and it’s great that more people are farming goats in the US.
I may be mistaken, but I heard up to 1 year old, goat meat is marketed as lamb in the U.S. You may have more insight on that? And kudos to you for growing your own food! The naysayers couldn't grow dandelions in the spring!!!
@@mckaylahohmann5660Thank you for engaging in this discussion! I know the difference in the living animal. The question in my mind remains, "What does the USDA put on kids at butcher age?" It's not veal. It's not lamb. Is it mutten? When is the last time anyone in America saw mutton for sale? I believe it is because kids are marketed by the USDA as lamb. There has to be another nerd like me that knows where to quote the answer for me. And thanks again McKayla!
Meat looks like it would be fresh with no hormones and nasty crap that is put in it! Can’t wait to have my own animals so I know where it comes from!!!❤️❤️❤️
I’ve eaten goats while out working in Texas and it was delicious. Dad raises goats and has smoked the hams whole and it was good too. I remember it looking a little like venison but the taste was sweeter, could’ve been the seasoning....... I know it was good though. I love mutton as well.
I raised 1 goat for meat about a year ago I’m guessing it was about 60 pounds on the hoof and we ended up grilling it whole (split the goat in half) on a pig cooker and chopped it up for bbq... goat bbq is awesome you should try that or half a goat cook it just like a pig.... I got that goat for 25 dollars at the flea market raised it for 8ish months and it was worth the wait even though it didn’t put meat in my freezer, it feed a great group of friends and family and we had a good party
Uhhh aren't you aware that animals are still killed and harvested for their meat at the supermarket? Thay just package and delivere the meat to them and then they sell it to customers. You are a big oof.
I am not a red meat eater and I support those who homestead with animals. It is reality. Great to see your family living and learning. Great video Daniel!

The Boer goat is named after the Boers of South Africa.
35% to 55% is the typical dress weight for Goat. I think you did very well. I totally agree with your opinion of where it came from, how it was fed, and what kind of life it had before it's final day. Great video. Thank you.
i am sure the butcher will sell the other portions Dan didn't bring home. There are alot of uses for the other portions.
One thing for sure, no one and nothing gets out of here alive. Daniel's animals are well cared for and have good quality lives. They were purpose raised and unless you're a vegetarian, the meat you eat was raised and slaughtered. The difference is, you don't know how it was treated or what it was fed.
Tried goat once, a friend had some at a cookout. Tasted pretty good. You know what your goats ate so that's much better for you than other meat you buy at the grocery store. GOD BLESS ARMS FAMILY HOMESTEAD FAMILY.
LOL...Was that your police revolver...bhahhaha come on Oklahoma
LOL, Not quite
You answered my questions, Daniel, thank you.I ate goat once, but it wasn't a fair trial. Seems I enjoyed it just fine until I found out it was Jeffrey, a goat I cared for myself for a couple weeks.
Doing the processing at home will be much more satisfying! Just like a deer, we process our own. My wife has become quite adept at taking apart a front shoulder since mom taught her how many years ago. I just salvaged what I could from a small deer that was hit on my road. Maybe two weeks worth of meat for us. Keep these great videos coming and maybe we will venture south on a road trip! I'd like to talk more about your farm and see it in person! Be safe out there!!
This place is crawling with psychopaths. Why is not everyone here locked up?
With all of that investment in frozen meat, I hope that you have a backup generator in case of a power outage to keep the power on the freezer.
This is why we raise our own Meat. It’s not about the $ we “Save” raising our own meat. But we know what it eats, how it lived... and Yes it is still a very “reasonable” price for meat when you compare it to similar quality meat you could buy. We raise geese, ducks, turkey, rabbit and chicken for our freezer here and I have Dairy goats. (5 due to freshen in May... That’s A lot of goats for us!) We are planning on having our buck butchered in spring after he’s done breeding our does and isn’t in rut anymore, and keeping and wethering any males born this season. (Not as cost effective as raising a meat breed but I am considering getting a meat buck to use next breeding season on my does) We had goat before from a friend (Boer) and it’s fantastic! we where quoted about $100 to get our guy done... time is a factor for us as well sending him to the butcher vs doing it at home, about the price to have a deer done. Great Video 👍
I saw you in Farmall Fanatic Live. I am here to show you love and support. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait for your next one. Much love to you.
If my math is right that's 4 bucks a lb, not counting the raising cost. When you consider that steaks are a lot more than that, and full of hormones and anti-biotics, its either close to same cost or slightly cheaper for 100% higher quality meat.
Oh I forgot. I was wondering if you ever had this problem. Both kids were born with their front feet folded under. They couldn’t walk. They tried but couldn’t. I had an idea and got some popcicle sticks and put one on each side and wrapped each ankle with gauze etc. after a day or so and with my little girl making sure they had everything they needed. Their ankles got strong so we took off the splints. Did you ever have that problem?
I've eaten goat before. Tried alot of different meats. Grandpa was a butcher,had his own place on the farm to do deer and other various animals.
Hello. We had it easier than most. My husband was a ranch butcher and we had two toggenbergs, if I’ve spelled that right. They gave good milk and he raised 2 drop calves on it and they were outstanding veal. Myself I didn’t like goat milk, the kids were ok with it but later didn’t like it. The baby goats (kids) were adorable and my daughter cared for them. Later the neighbors dogs got out and killed both goats and my rabbits. We didn’t bother with raising them or the rabbits after that. We raised some hogs which he butchered. That was a real saving. I enjoyed your video very much. You covered a lot of information very well.
4.70 a pound for organic healthy pasture-raised before food/feed costs. Good deal
Sorry, was reading the comments, and I think some people just have no idea where their food comes from.
If you buy nothing but what's in stores instead of raising or growing it, you have no idea what chemicals/ pesticides have been used...even in the grass fields... ever wonder why people are coming down with allergies and such?
My grandmother used to ask " Allergies?... how did the kids developed allergies? In my day kids rarely had things like that!"
So, sorry, got distracted from the question I wanted to ask you Daniel, and that is, how do you decide which goats are going to be processed out?
I’ve never eaten goat, but my husband has and he said it’s delicious. I’m glad y’all posted this I found it interesting, and i didn’t find it particularly expensive to have processed.
true blue533 no IM A FLIPPING VEGETARIAN AND THIS IS SOOO OFFENCIVE HOW DARE U
Una and Eron if you don’t like it, DONT WATCH IT THEN.
Everyone is not a vegetarian like you. So Flip Off.
Like the background music. It sounds like “a country boy can survive”. Good stuff. Keep on doing your thing and raisin that family right. God bless
That thumbnail picture offends me!! Not because you have a pistol, not because your
aiming it at them poor goats, but because you're left handed!! LOL
Not really offended. Some goat chops and goat tacos sounds good!!
*Have a good'nnn*
Hahaha
Haha, your too funny!
😂
Goat meat is really good. Growing up in Nepal, I have been eating since I was a kid. I would recommend you try cooking Indian style curry but don’t blame me if you get addicted to it. You should be able to locate Indian grocery stores near you and buy all species you need and most people are really helpful and would be willing to help you pick the right stuff. Let me know if you have further questions.
2:01 split-second decisions that save your life.😂
there is only one thing we say to death...
I was thinking the same thing :)
I don’t know if I can butcher them after raising them 😔. But then again I don’t eat goat....I think I’ll do dairy goats instead for milk and butter and cheese...
We’ve got all of our does due to kid within the next 2 months. We’ve actually never ate goat, but after the kids pick out their goats for the fair I think we’re gonna raise one for the freezer.
I’ve looked high and low for a video like this. Thanks for the information Daniel!!
That's actually a pretty dang good turn around. No mess, no time wasted & a good amount of meat.
Dang good videos man & hello from TX
Lol doesn't look like a lot of meat to me...but I'm with you on taking it to a butcher! Time consuming
I had my first goat July 4th at a BBQ in 1973. It was pulled just like pork BBQ. Everybody stared at me as I took the first bite. It was delicious! After I’d finished my meal, they asked if I knew what I’d eaten. It didn’t matter, it was really good. They figured a city girl wouldn’t like it. 😁
I'm very interested to find out how it tastes! I'm sure it will make very good chili!
Did anyone else catch that smartass goat who slid under the gate when they were lined up to be processed?😂
I'm a fan of goat meat mostly my favorite is with curry and coconut milk I usually just order it from a Jamaican restaurant I've never cooked it myself
We have eaten goat and it’s very good. We roasted a leg, similar to leg of lamb. I did marinade it with lime and garlic overnight. Your chops would probably be good that way. Carnitas spice mix would also work on them. Goat is used in a lot of Mexican cooking. Good information on the carcass breakdown. Thank you.
FEED THE FAMILY WITH WHAT YOU RAISE ON YER FARM! I really enjoy your vids, and for a cop, man, yer an awesome family man. MERRY CHRISMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
well i am sure you know all cops are worse then any criminals,, just for starters they rad pit parties and steel all the beer from the under age and have there own party later, same with any smoke.. every week you see in the new about some cop did this or that and is in jail and been suspended with pay until his/her trial but that the last you ever hear about it, or chef of police was raided in a hook shop but nothing more is ever said
Sooo, What's yer point? Also you need to learn how to spell, and your grammar isn't very good.
@@vichaven1795 i love people like you thats why this page was made just for your kind liveplayeat.com/people-who-point-out-grammar-mistakes-are-jerks/?fbclid=IwAR1ZHr6-AVrecl26uIeoDU4cNl7QvW0vHQayAHZHi3opt5I0BK0qCV-DqU0
U still haven't stated your point, just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. By the way, are we going to be pen pals now?
That’s what I will be doing I don’t like this stuff
Processor in DFW area charges me $35 per goat but it’s not packaged fancy like this, it all in one big bag and I have to package it in zip lock bags, so I guess it’s not bad price.
Thanks Daniel and yes I have eaten goat quite a bit. Even here in Oklahoma the better Mexican restaurants have goat and it is delicious. Yes it is not available in grocery stores so I have never cooked it but growing up in Louisiana my neighbor raised 2 goats a year but roasted it over a open fire it was great.
I'm new to the channel, but I have chickens butchered every year because of 4h. Nothing more satisfying then raising your own food. 6 always go to auction for someone, and the rest stay on the farm and are sent later to fill our own freezer or a relative.
Goat meat is one of the tastiest meats there is. Beef, pork and venison pale in comparison.
To really appreciate it, Curry would be it’s best accompaniment.
I used to eat fresh meat when I was a kid not from the grocery store. I miss that so much it tastes so good what a difference!
Thank you for not saying goat tastes like chicken.
Hahha I love it !
I find mutton disgusting in smell and taste, but goat is delicious!
@@FilmerOfBobcats next time tell her to take a bath first.. haaa
Very informative...I love your videos and learn alot. Never saw a video about butchering and you handled this very well. Most people who eat meat don't think twice about how the meat was raised. You get a thumbs up from me.👍
BTW....whole roasted goat is better than pork. 👍
When I lived in New Mexico, many years ago, my Hispanic boyfriend's father would roast a whole kid in the ground overnight. Most tender, succulent meat I've ever eaten!
Why does whole goat taste better than parts?
where are you?
Jeanette Waverly they roasted a KID...?
My friends used to manage a section (640 acres) of citrus in SoCal and every May 5th the workers workers would roast in ground a goat - best ever meat; melt in your mouth and no knife needed to cut it.
I'm from Mexico and goat meat is delicacy it's very good for your health and very tasty I like your videos and are very helpful I recently bought 3 goats 2males and one female hope I can learn and enjoy these beautiful animals hopefully I hope I never have to butcher them but if times get hard I will to feed my family . I love farm animals hopefully soon I will buy property to move up to cattle . Thank you for your videos .
They don't know what they're saying they're just sad that you are geting rid of them for good
Love some goat cooking videos, love your farm and all the animals and the way you interact with your beautiful family and farm.
@Landon Claeary, How could you you? Well it's quite simple really. You have a family that needs to eat. You have goats that need a purpose. You raise the goat to feed the family. Win win. That's how.
Sorry but how could you is an ignorant question. I have yet to even try goat. Because I live in a suburban area our stores too don't offer it. But I'm just as excited to try it as the Arms Family is. Just knowing the way your food was made, or lived is far more beneficial than walking into a store and hoping you get a good choice of meat.
Thanks for the video. Sorry again for the rant.
@Landon Claeary hence you have made my point. I am quite certain you have eaten something in your lifetime that once lived.
@Gary W good advice 😁
you dont get a get a good choice of meat, every commercial animal/ bird has a inserted growth hormone slow releases capsil like thing inserted under its skin to speed up growth, at 8 to 10 weeks old, i know this first hand as were i worked i had to do it
@Landon Claeary news flash most meat sold in stores is under a year old, or was older breeder that got sick, and was sent down the line ending up on your table
Will R Exactly!!!
My dad had stomach problems he couldn't hardly eat beef or pork and when we butchered a goat he started eating a lot better his stomach with a size of a two year old and he was a heavy set man and after he had 3/4 of a stomach to connect he couldn't hardly eat but we raised our own goats and butcher them for him
Cant wait to raise meat goats. And chickens. And fill my freezer with venison and elk sausage and backstrap... maybe one day BEAR MEAT!! Cant wait...
Hey I’ve never eaten goat meat! But I love deer tenderloin steak! We soak ours in water over night till the next evening just keep emptying the water and add more water to the bowl! It gets the blood and wild taste out. I even dip ours in mustard then dip in flour! Sounds odd but it’s delicious! Makes me want to take some deer steak out! Have a blessed day!
Like I know this is how you get meat and I love meat it’s still just sad because goats have a special place in my heart. But I support what you do it’s just something I could never do as an animal lover.
Don't know why people watch a Homesteading channel and then troll when people have animals processed to feed their family's. Any one who buys meat in a grocery store and eats it, it's the same thing people. As Daniel said, at least he knows how the goats were raised, treated and processed. To me, goat tastes like a tame whitetail deer. Thanks for the video Daniel.
Nice n fresh! At least you know what your eating! Good teaching sir!
Goat meat is called Chevon. It is healthier than beef or pork. It's delicious 😋. When I raised goats, I butchered the bucks that were turned into wethers and kept the does for milk.
$85ish per goat isn't bad at all. Processing is a lot of work. Hope y'all've been enjoying it!
Your mean
Hey, it was a nice clean video. The young child was at ease, that is always good to see. Real neat video. Makes me wanna try some goat meat.
It is hard to find goat meat, but I find it lean and tasty. Make the chops like lamb chops. Ground goat can be substituted for ground beef. Goat stew or goat curry is great, too!
Free-range goats from Daniel’s farm had a great life and are probably better for his family’s health and the health of the planet, compared to store-bought meat.
Thanks for sharing the details on the process, cost, and output!
thats because all the Italians grab it all up, the only people around here that raise goats are the Italian old ladies but they have past on so goats are getting hard to find any more
I love your channel i stumbled upon it and i have can't stop watching i was able to buy my first piece of land about 3 months ago i am in the process of moving my small farm of a half acre to my new homestead of 7 acres.i get alot of information out of what you post especially the got videos that is one animal i know little about i know more now because of your videos thanks for all the great videos
Agreed 100% you know how they lived, how they were treated and what they ate. We use our wethers for meat. I keep dairy goats, Oberhasli the boys do get fairly large. I do process them and the steers myself.
Goat roast is very good especially bar b q!! My husband and I live in Colorado we just signed a contract on a small farm in Collinsville,Ok. My two son and there family live round the area. Because of the trouble times we wanted to be close to family and be a little more self sufficient. We are having goats and chickens first. We love watching your videos. It's going to be nice to be back home in Oklahoma!!
You can always turn some of those chops into soup and stew! Now I'm hungry! I always get the bones and make bone broth. Then you process it in jars and store it for later.
I miss my goats and there meat is mild and you don't want to butcher a buck there meat is stronger than a weather.
I enjoy your channel and watched many of your shows. I raised goats for over 45 years. My goats were
dairy goats. I miss them there is so much they added to our family.
"Now you did it!" "I'm triggered" "I need porkchops" and taters and cauliflower and nanner pudding to top it all off.
Thanks for this information, great video, have been watching lots of your videos yesterday and today. Loving all your videos and the information in them.
That's a lot of great eating, right there 3:40 💯x👍
Wouldn't take much effort and material to make a full bed cage for the goats.
Goat meat is very good, we marinated and pot cook it for about 5 hrs ! We call it bbq Mexican style. Then we do home made tortillas. Ooh unbelievable!
Those goats had a great life and were well loved and fed! Well done and enjoy!
Some friends from my church and I helped some refugees from Nepal ( near India), and they eat goat a lot in their country. We could not find any in our stores . We even had trouble finding lamb . That was over 4 years ago . We told them to try turkey , but of course it was a far cry from those lamb or goat . Funny thing , they would NOT eat beef as they worshiped the cows!
I love goat! I’ve had it in a stew and it was amazing!!
I’ve never had goat meat. I’ve had venison and besides it tasting gamey, I thought it had a strong blood taste. I’m a city girl and none of the grocers or restaurants have goat meat anywhere near Chicago! It looks wonderful to be able to fill your freezer with so much protein and know where it came from.
I couldnt do it, even though I know it has to be done. Glad I'm a veggie lover.
In Afghanistan a grass fed goat may cost you around 120 USD and 10 Dollars to pay for the butcher.
Afghanistan is a meat heaven and it’s great that more people are farming goats in the US.
I may be mistaken, but I heard up to 1 year old, goat meat is marketed as lamb in the U.S. You may have more insight on that? And kudos to you for growing your own food! The naysayers couldn't grow dandelions in the spring!!!
Beardo O'Keashley lamb is sheep
@@mckaylahohmann5660Thank you for engaging in this discussion! I know the difference in the living animal. The question in my mind remains, "What does the USDA put on kids at butcher age?" It's not veal. It's not lamb. Is it mutten? When is the last time anyone in America saw mutton for sale? I believe it is because kids are marketed by the USDA as lamb. There has to be another nerd like me that knows where to quote the answer for me. And thanks again McKayla!
Goat meat is called "Chevon"
Meat looks like it would be fresh with no hormones and nasty crap that is put in it! Can’t wait to have my own animals so I know where it comes from!!!❤️❤️❤️
I’ve eaten goats while out working in Texas and it was delicious. Dad raises goats and has smoked the hams whole and it was good too. I remember it looking a little like venison but the taste was sweeter, could’ve been the seasoning....... I know it was good though. I love mutton as well.
I raised 1 goat for meat about a year ago I’m guessing it was about 60 pounds on the hoof and we ended up grilling it whole (split the goat in half) on a pig cooker and chopped it up for bbq... goat bbq is awesome you should try that or half a goat cook it just like a pig.... I got that goat for 25 dollars at the flea market raised it for 8ish months and it was worth the wait even though it didn’t put meat in my freezer, it feed a great group of friends and family and we had a good party
So sad, but at least they had a good home and life before they were killed. A lot better than those factory farms and kill pens.
Carole, who you kidding, a good life they are not even a yr old.
I'm just hoping if you ever pull me over I can get you talking about goats instead of my heavy lead foot on the gas pedal!!😂❤️😎🙋🏻❤️🦂
Oh no, why don't you go and buy your meat at the supermarket where no animals are ever harmed.
Uhhh aren't you aware that animals are still killed and harvested for their meat at the supermarket? Thay just package and delivere the meat to them and then they sell it to customers. You are a big oof.
People meat comes from animals if you eat meat you eat animals

Just found your channel. Getting ready to get our first goats and pretty excited about all the videos you have on goats.
Seeing the comments its so funny 😂 for the complainers check out what china does with it dogs your complaints are welcome there.....👍
Im from Ardmore and I totally didn’t even know there was a youtuber near by. 👍🏽👍🏽 awsome.
I think goat me is really good. It makes a wonderful stew.
