Goat Curry, anyone?

We've been shooting a few goats quite close to home but up until tonight, they have mainly been old billy goats, which aren't any good for eating.



We'd just finished dinner tonight (Friday) when the phone rang and our friend Rex from up the road phoned to say he'd had a call from a local farmer who had come home to discover a number of young wild goats in his back paddock. By a number, we were expecting maybe 10. We arrived at the paddock to discover a large herd of 30 to 40 goats. In about 30 seconds flat Greg and Rex dispatched nine of them, much to the delight of the farmer.



We loaded up the back of Rex's truck and headed off to salvage the meat, and we currently have a fridge full of hind legs (all about the size of a small lamb roast). Unfortunately we were unable to track down the wild fallow deer that's been hanging around, but maybe next time.... There was certainly lots of sign around!

So, Goat curry for dinner tomorrow night.... and probably every second night for about the next 3 or 4 weeks! Good thing Andrea's found a whole heap of goat recipes to try out!
