02 / Plan your order
Before you arrive
For goat meat processing, think about whether you prefer bone-in cuts for slow-cooked meals, smaller chops, or more ground meat. Mark preferred package sizes on the cut sheet and tell us if you want shanks, soup bones or organs saved. We can review your choices before your appointment.
Choose the cuts you’ll use
Choose from roasts, bone-in steaks and chops, loin cuts, ground goat, shanks, soup bones, stew meat, cubed steak, kabobs and ribs. Match roast and package sizes to the number of people you feed. Some boneless cuts and additional cutting work cost more.
Sausage, curing and smoking are value-added options. Goat sausage flavors usually need 30 pounds per batch; Garlic Pepper needs 35 pounds. Rank your flavors and decide how much meat goes to sausage before we begin. Remaining trim comes back as raw, unseasoned grind.
Plan your appointment
Tell us the number of goats, approximate live weights, whether the meat is for personal use or sale, and your preferred date. We’ll confirm your processing date when you book. Drop-off is 6:30–7:00 a.m.
The deposit is $55 per goat. Cancel at least 28 days ahead for a refund or credit; late cancellations and missed appointments forfeit the deposit. Send your completed cut sheet before processing day or bring it at drop-off. Contact us before drop-off day if you need help. Request any organs you want saved.
Allow about 1.5 weeks from slaughter without smoked items, or up to two weeks with smoked items. These are calendar-time estimates. Freezing is available on request and adds time. Arrange pickup with us; storage charges start after three calendar days from the invoice.
How we calculate processing charges
The base rate uses hot carcass weight, measured before chilling. Live weight and finished package weight are different. Kill, disposal and optional-service charges also affect the invoice, subject to the per-animal minimum.
03 / Questions
Common questions
Can several owners share an animal?
Yes. Each owner can fill out a separate cut sheet and receive a separate invoice. Set up the shared order before slaughter and ask us for the charges.
When do I take my goat off feed?
Take feed away at 7:00 PM Central Time the evening before processing. Keep water available until you load.
Which weight is used for hanging-weight processing charges?
For red meat, we use hot carcass weight, measured before chilling. It isn't the live weight or the final weight of the packages you take home.
Do you offer curing and smoking?
Yes. Curing and smoking are value-added options for every species we process. Tell us what you want when you place the order and we'll go over what we can make. Cured or smoked doesn't mean fully cooked — check the package and cook it as directed.
How should I choose goat cuts?
Start with the meals you cook. If large roasts sit in your freezer, ask about smaller roasts, chops, steaks or ground meat. Tell us how many people you feed and which cuts you’ll use most. Choices from the same part of the animal use the same meat, so more loin chops means fewer loin roasts.
Can I request goat meat for stew or kabobs?
Yes. Stew meat and kabobs are listed goat-cut options. Mark your preferred cuts and package sizes on the cut sheet, and discuss the choices with us before processing.
