    Thats only the buck goats. ive eaten it a few times and if you get a young female they taste great. looks like lamb only leaner. When i was living in Aus we would head out shooting every so often for boars and wild goats. brought them back and a neighbour had a huge motorised spit. he would stick it on first thing in the morning and that evening we would have a serious feed.

    As Miname said older buck goats will have a taint off the meat the same was as you can get boar taint from older sexually active boars.
    I have eaten goat although not for several years. It used to be regularly eaten in Ireland before we became all snobby and modern. My Grandparents would have killed male kids for their own consumption.
    It is similar to lamb but not as meaty and less fat unless you are using a meat producing buck like Boers.
