Let’s get into it!
Current Demand for Goat Meat (and Future Projections)
Did you know that of all the red meat consumed globally, 63% is goat meat?
That means the U.S. has a lot of catching up to do!
Because recent studies suggest that only 17% of U.S. consumers currently purchase goat meat. (But don’t worry, demand is about to ramp up a lot – for three reasons I describe later in this article.)
And check out the data that shows there’s been a huge surge in goat meat demand in the States recently:
What Other Farmers are Saying About the Goat Meat Market
7 More Reasons to Get into Meat Goats (Besides Selling the Meat)
If the skyrocketing demand for goat meat and profit potential don’t appeal to you too much, there are a bunch more reasons to consider raising meat goats:
Clear your land & shrubs |
---|
Not only can you use goats to clear your own land, some farmers even rent out their goats to clear other farmers’ land! |
Free manure |
Did you know that goat manure doesn’t smell, and it doesn’t attract insects like cow or horse manure does? |
Milk |
Goat milk has a bunch of attractive qualities: it’s easier to digest than cow’s milk, isn’t as allergenic, and is good for the skin! That probably explains why the goat milk market has been growing in the US.
Cheese Like goat milk, cheese from goats is rich in vitamins, has less saturated fats and cholesterol, and has fewer calories.
Clothing Ever hear of cashmere or mohair? Those fibers come from goats!
Pets If you’ve spent any time around goats, you know they can be both charming and hilarious! They’re usually pretty good-natured, too, so they’re great for children.
Entertainment & therapy Being around animals can be a real stress-reliever, including being around goats. |
And if you haven’t watched baby goats horsing around (so to speak), you haven’t seen real entertainment!
