News & MediaGoats: An overlooked pasture-raised animal
Goat meat is already very popular around the world -- the Washington Post claims that goat makes up almost 70 percent of the red meat eaten globally -- and its popularity could increase in the U.S. because of the convergence of several things: renewed interest in grass-fed animals; openings of new butcher shops or revitalization of old shops (such as Avedano's in San Francisco's Bernal Heights), and increasing numbers of U.S. residents from Latin America and South Asia. With a bit of education and experimentation by farmers, butchers, chefs and home cooks, this adaptable animal could become a key part of a return to meat raised on pastures.
