I don't know if this should fit here but i was really surprised by this fact....i wonder why goat meat is therefore more expensive than other meat types..

Goat doesn't grow fast like other animals. My goat is about 4yr old yet I still consider it dwarf. My goat over feeds everyday because I live in a grassy area. But growth, for where?

A 6 month old chicken is over mature. infact raising goats doesnt pay like other forms of agriculture...
