About Young goat
Young goat meat, often called kid, is meat from a goat slaughtered at a relatively young age. It is sold in cuts such as chops, legs, and shoulder, and may be prepared by roasting, grilling, braising, or stewing. The meat is generally lighter and more delicate in flavour than meat from mature goats, though age and cut affect its texture and taste.
It may be sold fresh or frozen, bone-in or boneless, and as whole cuts or minced meat. The name alone does not establish the animal’s precise age or the cut, so products covered by it can differ in tenderness and flavour.
