[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 735849, member: 7795"] I think it is a bigger picture than that Angie. I'll back you on the cultural and financial reasons.......but health? Not. For cultural and environment reasons, these cultures utilize what worked in their environments (religious reasons as well). As they move around the globe they take their culture with them. Some immigrants left their old culture behind (somewhat). Something that is no longer done. Embracing your culture is no longer a taboo (supposedly) when it moves. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying goat isn't healthy.........well as a matter of fact I guess you are right. If it weren't for the goat, the health of many cultures would have been very bad............ Sort of goes along with the financial end too. You sell the portions that will bring the most in trade and utilize for yourself the portions that don't trade well. Goat as a competition? I think it is just filling a market that wants it. A market that doesn't want anything else. Take the fajita backhoe has been talking about. It has been a "rage" down here for 20 years or more.....sort of old news. Was [u]once[/u] and inexpensive cut of meat nobody wanted till someone showed us how to use it effectively (notice it is wrapped in a tortilla and not bread). Culture. Shoot, even the roach coach has evolved into a taco wagon down here. Culture making a shift and serving a market. As a side note, a few goats come thru the local auction from time to time. Usually this one buyer buys them @ $20-$25 a head. Week before last a man of "culture" and his family happened to be their. The price of goats that day went to $75-$80. All about your market.
