I hate to say it, but curried goat is good. And for the record, no, this does not mean I like pajeets, we don't need them here, they can send us a fucking recipe card.

Nothing wrong with enjoying other ethnicities food. Just leave the shit, bodily fluids, and nigger out of the recipe.
Fun fact about "curry": It's an older English word for "cooking". IE, "curry favor" is a very, very old idiom.
The spice trade used to cover all of Europe. Our English ancestors were bathed in exotic spices coming in from all over the world. The Ottomans cut off our spice supply, and Western Europe (except Spain) had a serious shortage of critical spices. We learned how to eat meat with just salt and pepper, onions and garlic, and whatever weeds grew in our backyard.
The Spanish maintained the spice tradition that has been passed down to us from the Roman Empire. They used to make dishes very similar to what we call Indian food.
It remains to be seen whether we learned how to make spicy dishes from the Indians, or they learned how to do it from us. Either way, it is part of our DNA.

How much land did you need for the sheep?
I'm in the South. We get over 36" of rain every year.
I can run up to 4 sheep per acre no problem. Right now I am way below that. I am going to keep all the ewes until I have too many.

Where do you run that few? The desert?
Yeah, I hear sheep excel in such climates.
I also heard that you can green deserts with rotational grazing. You're right to leave some grass behind to trap rain and build soil.
I've heard that in northern Mexico, some ranchers are actually turning the deserts back into grasslands with rotational grazing at scale. One of the ranchers claims that by leaving grass on the ground, he gets more rain than his neighbors!

My favorite way to cook goat and lamb is in a roast.
I tried leg of goat roast with just salt and pepper... I was not well-pleased, let me just say.
That stuff needs some spice or it isn't going down my gullet.

I do mine in the pressure cooker (insta pot) with all the fixins (potato, carrot, onion, bay leaf). You've gotta use that shank cut bro. The marrow just melts into the everything.
Wow. I've yet to find a savory food that isn't improved dramatically by lots of butter, salt, and pepper.
Goat is just cheaper tasting sheep. They're almost the same animal so it makes sense. Just nobody really raises goats for meat. Hell sheep meat is already wildly overpriced in the US, in countries where they actually commit to it it's pretty cheap.
I just know that everywhere our ancestors went, they brought goats, sheep and cattle with them.
RE sheep -- it used to be the #1 meat in America. Mutton was highly prized and everyone could afford to eat it every Sunday. After WWII, America lost her taste for sheep for some reason, and started eating a lot more chicken than ever before in human history.
I think sometime in the near-ish future, sheep will once again replace beef as the primary protein source of the American diet. The reason is simple: Sheep are something like 8x as productive as cattle. You get 8x as much meat doing sheep than you do cattle on the same forage.

I think one reason is land use. Cattle you can dump in the desert on an open range, I don't see sheep handling that as well.
Sheep really excel in arid climates. They have a hard time in wet climates -- parasites get to them too easily.
The cattle boom in the US had a lot to do with the rail network getting established. Once Chicago became famous for loading refrigerated railcars full of butchered beef and shipping it to Wall Street for the New Yorkers to consume, and ranchers could get rich driving herds to the closets rail yard. Then we brought in the hereford breed and later the angus breed. We had tons and tons of land, and cattle are WAY easier to manage than sheep.

You could consider adding a couple of cows. Sure they are large, but they are easy to deal with, compared to pigs that can be a pain in the arse.
> there was a gamey flavor to it.
Prolly older goat.

No they were younger kids. I'm just not used to goat meat yet.
I was expecting way worse, but was pleasantly surprised. Deer meat was more gamey than this goat meat.

I am not a fan of goat/sheep meat, I have to say. No matter how you dress it up, there's always that flavor buried underneath.
I am a very simple man: beef, chicken and pig.

You'll see people post here about how they lost weight, gave up porn, picked up weights, moved to rural USA and started going to church, and then they got a girlfriend, and then nothing. Likely, they got married, started popping out kids, and forgot all about us.
