In the audience also was Julian Davies and his wife from Julian's restaurant, who we supply goat to for his restaurant and also Louisa and Neil Armitage who have a large dairy goat herd in Yorkshire and got us started into goats in the first place! We sourced our original herd from these guys and owe them alot as they taught us all we know about goats.
For us the debate was about eating kid goat and was it right, we normally supply much older animals for slaughter, the kid goats are just under 12 months old and also we supply adult goat into the Carribean restaurants such as RNK in Bebbington, Wirral. It was very odd for us to be taking such young animals in and I do believe it is harder to eat baby animals.
Once the kid goat has been cooked it looked like veal more than the goat we are used to, we are used to a deeper red meat in colour from our goats. Also we believe that meat should be hung and this adds to flavour. The meat in the show probably didn't come out at its best as it didn't have enough time to rest and mature. Also I believe that some parts of goat need slower cooking and on a TV show you don't have the time! However as a debate as to eating baby animals it worked and also as a promotion of eating goat meat and to get people talking about eating goat.
