Forget about all the stories and rumours you have ever heard about 'poor farmers' eating 'smelly goat'. Farming and breeding Boer Goats have given us the privilege to have access to this wonderful meat. A young fattened whether (castrated male) of 34-40 kg is as good as it gets. The meat has the flavour of mutton, but the texture of lamb. It is truly delicious - and just about the healthiest meat you can find. In South Africa it is not widely available but certain upmarket supermarkets do supply it under the french name 'Chevon".
