FAQS
What does it cost?
When you purchase a whole goat through us, you are buying the whole animal. Your goat will be cut to your specifications, vacuum packed, labeled, and frozen. Halal & Tayyib Meat Shares: $8/hanging lb. on the hanging weight. Butcher fees (includes all cut and wrap). The actual cost is based on the final hanging weight and the processing method. The average cost is $500.
What cuts will I get with the custom-Cut option?
We’ll help you fill out a “cut sheet” which will specify how you want your goat butchered. You can get a mix of grind, stew, roasts, steaks, organ meats and bones depending on your requests. Making use of organ meats and bones increases the value of your whole goat purchase. If you’re not into organ meat, maybe your dog is! Consider making stock with the bones - you won’t regret the effort. Liver, heart, kidneys, and spleen are added at no extra cost if chosen. Other organ meats such a s tripe may be added for with an extra cleaning and packaging fee.
How much do I save by buying a whole goat?
For goats, the live weight varies from approximately 60-90 pounds. The hanging weight (after removal of head, hooves, most bones, offal, etc.) is about 50% of the live weight. The actual meat you receive (boxed weight) will be less due to the cutting away of the remaining bones and fat. We are able to provide you with the average weight of a goat for estimating purposes, but each animal is different and your final price will reflect this. The butchering fee is calculated into the purchase price. Once your meat is ready, we will make arrangement with your for home delivery.
A whole goat share will yield approximately between 28 and 38 pounds of meat cuts once it has been custom cut & packaged. The share cost depends on each animal's age, cutting method, and final hanging weight.
How much meat will I get?
A typical cut yield is somewhere around 60% off of the hanging weight, but this depends on how you have your goat butchered. More bone-in cuts, organs, and bones will increase your yield and the overall value. Cut yield also varies somewhat from animal to animal. Per the example above, you might expect to get around 28-38 pounds of meat in total.
