Unhappily the meat will be tainted with a decided flavour of billy otherwise. Though I am being a bit presumptive here: are they for eating, Sky?

Not opposed to goat meat but these ones are just for pets Jon.
Mum is an Arapawa island goat but a toggenburg buck managed to get to her so the kids are cross breed but will stay quite small hopefully.
I hope to breed her and her sister again and get pure bred Arapawa kids to keep the breed alive.

Sorry - been in France a bit too long.

It seems that here everything is assessed on the basis of:
1. Can you eat it?
2. If so, how best to cook it?
3. If not, can you shag it?
4. Well, why are you bothering with it then?
When my girls got guinea pigs, the first thing I did after the naming ceremony ("Makka-Pakka," "Caramel" & "Storm" - how can a guinea pig be called Storm?) was to check whether the
Gastronomique had any recommendations.
