GOAT MEAT ?

Going under the names Cabrito or Chevon you will also find goat referred to simply as kid or goat.  Whilst goat is believed to make up 80% of the total meat consumed in the world, it is considerably under consumed in the U.K.  With a taste between lamb and beef it appeals to many people.  In addition, being low in cholesterol, high in iron and ounce for ounce having less fat than chicken and about the same calories, goat is the ideal meat for the health conscious.
Much of the goat eaten in Britain is the "waste" or cull from dairy herds but increasingly the Boer Goat, a breed originating in South Africa developed specifically for its meat, is being crossed with dairy goats or bred specially for its meat.

WHO ARE WE?

Located South of Lancaster, we run a medium sized, free-range herd of part bred Boers. Meat production is our primary aim, supporting breeders concerned with the preservation and improvement of the Boer Goat as a Breed. We also use some full blood Angora does  in the herd as they carry a good quantity of meat.  Kidding indoors, away from predators, our goats then have free access to grazing and shelter for as much of the year as possible, leading as natural a life as they can, they are only housed in particularly bad weather conditions.

"Well, we tried some of the chops last night and only one way to describe them….fantastic. The quality of the meat is excellent, I really must commend you on the way you raise your animals, and it was very nicely butchered as well."
 

 

QUALITY GUARANTEE

All our meat animals are born and reared on our farm and therefore we are able to guarantee both the traceability of our meat and the standard of care it has received both whilst alive and after slaughter. All our meat is produced from prime young stock between the ages of 6 and 12 months as such it is a succulent and flavoursome meat,. When well cooked it is beautifully tender and creates a wonderful roast dinner in addition to the believed more traditional dishes such as curries.


WHERE CAN YOU GET GOAT MEAT?

Although goat meat is readily available in the UK it can be difficult to track down.  We find that production is far outweighed by demand, which has led us to significantly increase production over the last few years. By 2005 we were using carefully selected home bred does. We place an emphasis on carcass quality and speed of growth in our selection process. Whilst 2006 saw a further increase in production we maintain a close relationship with our stock to ensure all animals receive the  individual attention they need.

Pre ordered meat can be collected directly from our farm. We also now offer a mail order service, however we are able to put you in contact with a local breeder known to ourselves wherever possible.

2006 sees the introduction of a mail order service please contact us for more details.

Satisfied Customers!   "Could you let me know when you will be able to spare a full carcase. The last one I had from you was superb."
