Goat burgers!!! :woot Are they any good?

90 days sounds like the way to go. So that means at the end of this month we can start weaning, yay!

So, I know you don't have time to read the whole post, but basically the doe had presented with a fluid sac for about 2 hours and wasn't pushing. We tried to induce labor with oxytocin, then we pulled them, except their heads were turned back and I guess we killed them. :( That's it in a nutshell.

I've never had the chance to try any kind of goat meat...is it similar to lamb? One day I will just have to head out the NC and get you to cook me a goat burger! :drool

I think they should have aged more. These were REAL freshhhhhh. Meaning..... :sick I thought McFlurry was kissing me! :lol:

My Dh said it tasted like lamb burgers... I don't know- never had lamb burgers. But I LOVE LAMB!

Honestly I felt like the goat barn was in my mouth.

oh Southern...you thought McFlurry was kissing you while eating goat burgers??? :lol:

Our lamb is always hung for a time and aged...plus our lamb is hair sheep...much milder than wool sheep in my opinion.

Em...come here for dinner and I'll fix you lamb that I am positive will change your mind about lamb :)

Yes I loved the burgers. I certainly thought they were good.

Wow Bridge, I'm sorry. I would have had no idea what to do. So sorry you lost them.

Some say that it is alot like lamb,some say alot like deer, some say alot like beef. I guess it depends on the person and I think the part of the goat has as much to do with it as anything.

elevan - Me either. Not a lamb fan.

Straw...you also are invited for a lamb supper that I'll prepare and you'll change your mind! People used to strong lamb flavour are disappointed in our lamb being so mild...yet so tasty to our way of thinking.

C'mon over...bring some goat burgers...we'll do a cook off ;)

I LOVE lamb! :love And lambs :love

We've cooked our goat a few ways, but no burgers. The first time Tim roasted it in the oven like a pork roast and that was REALLY good. The second time in the crock pot and that was just okay. The third time when we ground it and used it in our chili, it tasted gamey to me, like venison.
