I didn't know if it wasn't a meat specific breed, it would be nasty.

I figured breeds known for meat just tended to be heavier, grew hefty faster, and tended to be stocky.

No, any intact BUCK will be nasty.
We give that meat to the dogs. Heck you can smell the nasty from the package the second you open it up. :sick:sick:sick

Really? It affects the meat that much? I never would have guessed it

Hmmmm... all year they taste bucky? I was wondering if it wouldn't be so bad non-rut... Some cultures seem to want intact bucks. Curious!

Oh I see. I have never eaten goat. So I wasnt aware it would make so much difference. I just assumed it was like a deer buck.

My husband says a boar wild hog would be pretty gross as opposed to female.

Yes, it is gross... the meat is kind of tainted.
Many muslims need an intact buck during their certain holidays.
It would violate their custom to have a wethered buck for certain ceremonies. Outside of those times they get wethers.

Yeah, if you ate an intact buck you'd never want to eat goat again.
:lol:

Doe meat is still the best... but really- who wants to eat does? :hu

My bucks smell bad all year. It's just worse during rut.

Not too say you couldn't eat it, it just might retain the buck smell some since they're constantly peeing on themselves.

So the surgery for fixing the issue is $250. Just for vet to see him $46.

I wanted to sell him for $50-$100. Vet visit isn't really cost effective for this particular goat. Now what to do.....

Know anyone who might want my "One Nut Wonder"?​
