What did you do today?

[Taffy]

Apparently he takes the animals the night before and lets them settle, then butchers them next morning by slitting their throat. Then you come pick up your meat in neat little paper packages that afternoon. I heard about the place from a lady who took one of her goats there last year and she was really happy. I'd like to go and check it out myself. If he'd let me, I'd like to watch the butchering process from start to finish so I can make an informed decision if this is the route I want to take for any of our culls in the future.

There is no way I will ever have a goat's throat slit to kill it. No matter how "settled" they are the reaction the goat has when it's throat is slit is horrible to see. My son shoots his Boer goats here on the property out of sight of the other goats. It's very quick and much more humane. He's seen the throat slit on one of his goats and swore none would ever have that done again.

You can butcher a goat like you butcher a deer.
