020118 Goat Touted as Healthful Red Meat of FutureJanuary 19, 2002Fort Worth, TX - Boer goats, imported from South Africa about nine years ago, might soon be changing Americans' meat-eating habits. Well, if not a change, it will at least be an addition to the red meat possibilities. Goat might be the healthiest red meat around. It's low in fat and cholesterol and high in protein. Goat breeders say it is the most popular red meat outside the United States. Trouble is, even if you want to try it, you can't find it. That soon might be changing, and the Boers are why. The larger, meatier Boers are being bred with Spanish goats to produce a faster-growing, larger meat goat.
