- shiftpgdn 4y agoIt’s too hot for them in most of the agricultural centers in the USA. Plenty of goats though.
- bombcar 4y agoGoat milk is relatively common, but I've not seen goat meat for quite awhile. Lamb is available most places, but usually more expensive. Walmart carries it!
- bretpiatt 4y agoA good number of places in Texas serve goat neat, it just gets called cabrito. https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/on-the-menu-cabrito/ https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/on-the-menu-cabrito/
- NamTaf 4y agoAs opposed to all the sheep in famously temperate Australia? :) The temperature argument doesn't stack up to me. Have you got a source?
- s0rce 4y agoI was also curious since there were historically Basque sheepherders in Northern Nevada, which is generally not very cool, although the mountain summer ranges are somewhat cooler.
- School-Cotton 4y ago> Is lamb not a popular meat in USA? It’s not exactly rare, but it’s far less popular than beef, pork, or chicken.

- NamTaf 4y agoIt's not popular, and what lamb is grown there is generally also a very mild flavour as far as lamb goes, being less gamey than lamb found in other countries.
- megablast 4y agoIt’s not popular in Australia either. It’s available, but everyone eats chicken, pork or beef.
