That goat needs to be on the grill with some taters and onions.

I've had BBQ'd goat before. I wasn't that excited about it. For grilled meat, a nice fat Rib-eye is really hard to beat.

Goat's pretty good but you have to be sure it was cleaned by a professional. Miss a gland or two and It's edible but not all that good. If done right It tastes a lot like venison.
 
Speaking of goats...I had to go in an unfamiliar yard one day to get a meter ID# off of an electric meter. The gate was a chronic lock and nobody had been able to get in. I hopped the fence and headed over to the panel. Big yard, I got about 25 yards in and a king-sized monster goat came around the corner and spotted me in the yard. This goat's head was about chest high. He started bobbing his head up & down and took off straight at me :eek: I didn't know what the hell to do. I hopped behind a tree as he shot past me. I took off for the fence and made it up and over before he could get me.
It the same area a coworker was bitten (pinched) by an Emu.
 
Farm my grandmother lives on the lady owns a zebra, as well as an emu (formerly 2), and several alpacas. Zebra is a nasty SOB only my dad really takes him out of the barn after he took a ladies thumb off.

Yeah...I always wondered why the Africans didn't ride zebras (they look like horses)...then somebody told me they were very nasty and aggressive and couldn't be tamed.

yeah original plan was for it to pull a wagon.
 
Kid is lucky it was a goat, if it was a goose, there really would have been really some whoop a$$. I've had both, and the goose wins hands down. Not only do they pop you with their beak, they bite and it hurts like hell. Goat got out one time and decided he liked the view from the top of my brand new Ranchero. :owquitit:
 
We got a bunch of "Canada Geese" around here...they are actually amazing creatures. They don't F' around. They paddle around our lake in almost militaristic formation - each keeping track of the other. I have actually saw a red tail hawk swoop down to try and get a young one and the tail-end Goose flew up right into him. You wouldn't think a goose could fight a hawk...but...Luckily (for the hawk) he just glanced off the goose and was able to fly away. If that goose would have been able to knock him into the water it would have been an ugly death for the hawk. Those geese don't f_ck around...they would have just pounded him until he drowned and the turtles would have had a meal.

I walk around the lake many early mornings and when the geese are onshore they always have a couple awake lookouts...and the "sleepers" are generally under an overhanging tree. Normally I just walk by them - but occasionally I raise up my arms to look big and cause a ruckus in the colony and they all go to water...they give me a dirty look :mellow:

they mate for life, you probably already know that. I live next to a couple of dammed up rivers, the Arkansas and the Cimarron. I can tell when spring or winter is coming they follow the river. Honk honk.:biggrin:
