[Mays]

I am still mulling this over too.

It makes sense to raise them as meat rather than "hope" they find a forever home. As goat keepers we should promote & encourage a holistic approach to our Goats therfore providing the meat industry with our billys should be ultimately a proud acheivement. When I put away fat lambs, I think, they are looking fab, they had a fabulous life & now they will provide a splendid meal for someone.

However, i talk the talk but I havent walked the walk regarding my Goatys! my No1 concern is how they will be slaughered?
