Goats getting Kentuckian goats

The Boer goat is being raised for its meat. The State with the most Boers is Texas followed by Kentucky.
A news article in the Kentucky Living magazine, a product of the electric coops in Kentucky, features the goats that are in great demand for its meat producing quality. As the smaller tobacco farmer is selling his government quota back to the Dept of Agriculture goating may be the income produce from the land.

As goats are hair coated perhaps they will be raised further north as global warming , at least this year in S. Dak., and multi=ethnic demand will make it a profitable venture for the small unit farm/ranch.

Goat tying is a part of the Rodeo circuit. If your bent towards a rustling life perhaps that would be necessary training to earn a profitable living on the open range or later closed range.
