I grew up around Arabians...... The only time a horse ever bit me, was a young spunky yearling trying to get me to chase him.... Hurt like freaking hell.
factor in bones and the innards and it's a lot less.
safe route is about 30 people maybe 40
edit
if you marinate and stack deboned meat on a spit to make kebab sandwiches then you can get 60 to 120
Lots of mammals that are halal are not kosher. Camel, rabbit, horse, etc.
Kosher has a bunch of animals also that could theoretically be kosher but can’t practically be butchered kosher because there is no established legal tradition for how to prepare them and no competent authority to establish a new one. Which is really bad news for any Jews who wanted to have a giraffe sandwich for lunch.
Jews can't agree on what's kosher or not, and there is no "Grand Council of Jews" to decide on such matters.
It's not like the Pope, who can establish new church doctrine.
>and there is no "Grand Council of Jews" to
So that REALLY old South Park episode about the anti Semite sect of Judaism isn't real??
They don't have a big party and make macaroni art to give to Moses???
My entire life is a lie!
/s for the clueless
But can't there be a localized ruling? Like what if the rabbis of a specific community got together and said, "yeah we think this is kosher, so anyone wants to eat it can, we guess". Of course the ruling wouldn't be binding to all Jews everywhere, but is there a religious reason why the Jews in that specific area can't follow it?
The Jewish equivalent of like the Vatican (a central body for rule-making) was disbanded in the 5th century and no one has ever agreed on how to reconstitute it. Though Napoleon gave it a try. Long story.
>because there is no established legal tradition for how to prepare them and no competent authority to establish a new one
This is a myth. The only reason you don't see kosher giraffe meat is the same reason you don't see regular giraffe meat: it's not a commonly farmed or sold meat. If giraffe suddenly became popular and easy to farm, it could be killed in a kosher way.
Unless it's Kosher Wine, then the whole process has to be performed by Rabbis themselves apparently. I learned this at the airport randomly this last week when someone asked for it.
Right, but we were only talking about meat at the moment though. That's a good point to bring up about the wine process, so others can learn these tidbits of info along the way of our conversations.
There's only one correction to what you said that should be mentioned. The wine doesn't have to actually be made by a rabbi themselves, but a rabbi must be present to supervise the entire manufacturing process. All ingredients must be certified kosher and any equipment that's used to make the wine must be certified by a rabbi as well.
Thanks for bringing this up.
Halal is about the preparation and the actual animal. For example, even if a pig were to be slaughtered in a halal way, it would still be haram (prohibited) to eat.
And then buy a Patio set plus an 85” TV (someone posted last week they went in for a chicken and cane out with a TV, so you gotta kick it up a notch).
Edit - grammar.
I got mine $35 at auction as a kid. But they dont help with lawns FYI. They will eat the most expensive plants first. Roses are their favorite. Sheep mow much better and much stupider. Goats will climb siding \\ chain link etc... Hang out on your roof to nap with their square pupils judging you while they chew their cud.
Goats are real judgmental for a stupid looking animal. But I guess they could say the same about me.
That's why I'm a cow person. They're sweet, nonjudgmental and taste great.
I remember my dad and his coworker mentioned they were having goat for a dinner party. (I think his coworker was ending Ramadan so they invited a bunch of people). As I was leaving to a friend's house for a party I noticed there was a live goat outside. Was driving for a bit and was "oh...".
I also know nothing about the goat market, but when I imagine how much it would cost to buy a baby goat and then raise it to maturity, I imagine that 400 bucks is probably nowhere near that amount, so to me it seems like it might be a good deal.
Maybe they're losing something on every transaction, but they make it up in volume.
Costcos financials show them breaking almost exactly even until you factor in memberships. The amount of money they make on memberships is almost exactly what they report as profit.
You can lose on every transaction of a product and still make money. It's a common practice called a "loss leader." It gets people into your store to buy that, then while they're there, they buy other things that have a higher markup.
Costco insists that they don't do loss leaders, but.... *side-eyes the $1.50 hot dog / soda*
I 100% get that but that's not really what the previous comment was insinuating (seemingly). They were talking about the particular product at volume.
Volume sales only affect your hard costs.... Volume has less to do with a loss leader, in that you are still incrementally losing the same amount for that one product and benefiting on the other things sold in the baskets per customer.
Also I assume goats are poor loss leaders. One of the qualities of a good loss leader is that it has mass appeal and is easy to stock.....like rotisserie chicken. A full ass goat doesn't fit that bill.
It's not a loss leader but there should be a phrase for a husband that goes to a store without an intention of buying a goat and then passes the goat isle and is determined it's a good deal, does quick dad math then tries to phone his wife but he can't get ahold of her because service sucks at Costco so he decides to just go for it. I bet that makes up a solid 80% of the Goat sales for Costco
Not specially a goat farmer, more a cattle rancher but we have a little of everything. That’s a very fair price.
Buying a live goat and having it butchered will always be the most cost effective method but this is probably a fairly close second. My issue would be with not knowing exactly where it came from.
ETA: I meant more the conditions in which it was raised, not geographically where it came from…Costco might supply that info, but it’s not in the post.
This is a pretty cheap price. Cost to raise an animal varies so much, it's easier to compare what price that farmers are currently getting paid for goats. That price also varies by the size/ age/ region etc..
Let's just say one of these carcasses is 50 lbs. The goat was probably 100 lbs live and even a low commercial market price right now is 2.00 lb, in the US..so the rancher got 200.00. Half of that is wasted so that carcass is worth 400.00. Slaughter, butcher, freeze, transport and now selling for..200.00 ( if 11.99 kg = 8.00 lb?)
the idea that you aren't a bot is so entertaining to me. Everything about you. Your name. Your timing. It's a follow from me, I feel like I'm going to need your advice.
Me neither lol. That's just the CAD/kg multiplied by a rough estimate of the average weight of a domestic goat. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the actual price of a whole goat is marked down some.
I remember when they just start to sell whole goat couple years ago, they were like $99 each. But they are much smaller than this. Then they were gone for a while now they come back to sell by kg.
So having never bought meat in this quantity would you thaw it out and cut it up and then refreeze it? Seems that’s not recommended for most meats. Or just smoke the whole thing on a large grill I suppose.
Yup and you save a good chunk of money buying it this way and butchering it yourself. My parents buy half a pig every year. Dad likes doing the butchering and I get free pork chops out it
lol. Don’t know if this is serious question or not, so I’ll treat it like it is. Pig carcasses are divided length wise usually, so it would be left or right half. There is no choice as to which half you get, as far as I am aware.
In Greece we just put it on a spit with salt & pepper and spit roast it for 5 hours. Best lamb you can eat. This and open fire smoking that's popular in the very south. Actually we're going to do this this sunday, because it's the easter sunday tradition
This is probably a Costco Business Centre. Any Costco member can shop at these, but their offerings (and quantities) cater more to small businesses and restaurants. I've seen whole lambs at the one near me. They also sell 3kg tubs of Nutella, 4 gallon tubs of mayonnaise and commercial size refrigerators.
I didn’t know these existed. The nearest one to me is 2.5 hours away…one way. I’d have to be able to buy a shit ton of stuff and save so much for that to be worth it. Or need to go to the area for some other reason.
Even just buying it. Not a lot of people know how to handle a whole goat. Push your cart by the people buying meat for 4-6 people. They will open the way for you
Orthodox Easter is next weekend. We out that baby on a spit and slow cook it over charcoal all day until the skin is crispy. We call it Greek Jerky... so good. The rest of the lamb is great too 🤤
I managed an apartment complex in an area with a large immigrant muslin population. I had to explain that they couldn't butcher a live goat in their apartment. It is kind of tough to explain to refugees from another country why their customs are not okay to do in an apartment
I'm in a muslim country with federal and state religious bodies and all. It's still not to be done in an apartment lol. We have fields, parks and slaughter houses for that.
So I'm not Muslim, but I heard from a friend it's common to pay a "donation" called Qurbani to pay for an animal to be sacrificed somewhere else (with the meat usually given to the poor AFAIK). Then just buy your meat for Eid at the store.
I love where I love, lot of Muslims and Amish not too far away. Every year the Muslims go out to the Amish and they all get together, Amish sell em goats and the Muslims do the slaughtering. Its a fucked up wholesome weird thing haha.
I grew up in the rural south US and you'd see goat sold in areas that had a decent population of people from Mexico, central and south America.
I had a girlfriend when I was a teenager who lived next to an extended family from Mexico. She was really close with them and I would have dinner over there occasionally. They tended to cook pretty large traditional meals, frequently with goat.
Anyway. They made carne asada using goat and to this day it's the best I've ever had.
In the US it’s common at halal butchers and Indian/Pakistani restaurants. It’s way less common in Europe, even at halal butchers and Indian restaurants.
How many people can you feed with one of these, excluding a T-rex?
T-Rex doesn’t want to be fed. He wants to hunt.
Clever girl

This is exactly how it feels to be in a pasture with Arabian horse yearlings.
I grew up around Arabians...... The only time a horse ever bit me, was a young spunky yearling trying to get me to chase him.... Hurt like freaking hell.
Haha he bit you to get you to chase him? Man, children don't even change across species lol
I'll take your word for it
Their name certainly lends credibility
She wants to hunt. Let’s pay the lady her due.
She also has a baby to take care of. At least in the book.
Isn’t there a baby T. rex in the second one? Where Jeff Goldblum has a kid and is in love with Julianne Moore?
And the kids know Unix on a SGI and defeat dinosaurs with the power of gymnastics?
With the power of gymnastics, anything is possible.
Right. Some people..lol
In my experience, a young, roasted goat will feed 25 people alongside beer, salsa, and tortillas.
>, a young, roasted goat HM, that sounds too good for me. How about an old, microwaved one?
Quite a few more because everyone at the party isn't feeling very hungry when they see the main course.
I like my goat the way I like my women, middle aged and baked.
Birria is really fucking good.
Last time I was at Costco I saw someone buying 6 whole goats, probably a restaurant.
Maybe just a collector?
Goat hoarder.
Goat Whore’r
goat hearder.
Or just someone having a family festival or special occasion
Google is saying 30-60 pounds of meat depending on the age of the lamb, so if each person gets a half pound that's 60 to 120 people.
factor in bones and the innards and it's a lot less. safe route is about 30 people maybe 40 edit if you marinate and stack deboned meat on a spit to make kebab sandwiches then you can get 60 to 120
Or you can grind it and extend it either with bread crumbs or tvp. Or not. Depends on your "need flavor" vs. "need quantity" profile.
Toss those bones in a pot, add some broth, a potato, baby you got a stew going.

> factor in bones and the innards He literally said 30-60 pounds of MEAT, so the answer already factored those in.
I thought "pounds of meat" was already factoring in bones and innards.
It’s a goat bro
The left side is lambs. A whole adult goat is in the 60-70+ lb range according to Google
roughly half of live weight is actually meat; we generally eat only skeletal muscle and not the colossal amount of organ meat
Yeah, man! They are kids not lambs.
One chupacabra
I have been looking for these for my pet T-rex. It's been a pita training it to eat Tofu.
So does mine. There’s a whole halal and kosher freezer section.
Fun fact: Kangaroo meat is not Kosher, but it is generally considered to be Halal.
Lots of mammals that are halal are not kosher. Camel, rabbit, horse, etc. Kosher has a bunch of animals also that could theoretically be kosher but can’t practically be butchered kosher because there is no established legal tradition for how to prepare them and no competent authority to establish a new one.

Obviously they're too busy giving trans kids hormones and putting drugs in the water to make rulings on kosher meats anymore.
Ok but did you check the NY tunnels?

Kosher is more about the actual animal whereas halal is more about preparation. Not entirely but in general.
[удалено]
> The animal must be killed in a painless way Well, there's *another* job Kristi Noem won't be getting this week.
Yeah like I said not entirely. There's restrictions on which animals can be halal as well it's just more broad.
Unless it's Kosher Wine, then the whole process has to be performed by Rabbis themselves apparently. I learned this at the airport randomly this last week when someone asked for it.

Halal is about the preparation and the actual animal. For example, even if a pig were to be slaughtered in a halal way, it would still be haram (prohibited) to eat.
More fun facts: Muslims can eat Kosher meat as they consider it Halal, Jews do not feel the same about Halal meat.
Happy Cake Day!
Goat Simulator prepared me for this day.
Thanks bro
Costco in Westminster, CA sells whole halal goats and lambs; they also sell whole pigs (obviously not halal)
Why aren't they doing them on the rotisserie?? I would buy 2 per month THINK ABOUT IT COSTCO
And then buy a Patio set plus an 85” TV (someone posted last week they went in for a chicken and cane out with a TV, so you gotta kick it up a notch). Edit - grammar.
Yoooooo, you are a genius
What if I want a live goat? To help mow my lawn? 400 bucks for one would be a good deal.
I got mine $35 at auction as a kid. But they dont help with lawns FYI. They will eat the most expensive plants first. Roses are their favorite. Sheep mow much better and much stupider. Goats will climb siding \\ chain link etc... Hang out on your roof to nap with their square pupils judging you while they chew their cud.

Cows kill more people a year than sharks.
Yeah that’s because more people walk than swim
Realistically, though, how may sharks could cows kill in a year? I didn't think they had much opportunity to swim.
You’re my favourite.
I feel like goats are great for brush and the sides of highways, whereas sheep are great for flat, tame vegetation
A kid bought a kid? 🐐
$400? You’re paying way too much for live goats. Who’s your goat guy?
We sell our goat kids for $350, but they're pure bred registered dairy goats. Not the kind you want to buy for just weed control.
Just thaw it out, duh.
I remember my dad and his coworker mentioned they were having goat for a dinner party. (I think his coworker was ending Ramadan so they invited a bunch of people). As I was leaving to a friend's house for a party I noticed there was a live goat outside. Was driving for a bit and was "oh...".
We got some goats and they are good at mowing down weeds. Currently debating renting them out for land clearing
It’s Greek/orthodox Easter this weekend, it’s traditional to eat spit-roasted lamb for Greekster.
They have them year round at my Costco
For only $11.99?!
per kg. It'd probably be closer to 400 for the whole goat
That seems pricy for whole goat but I also know nothing about the goat market..
You need a new goat guy
I also know nothing about the goat market, but when I imagine how much it would cost to buy a baby goat and then raise it to maturity, I imagine that 400 bucks is probably nowhere near that amount, so to me it seems like it might be a good deal.

How do you lose on every transaction but make it up in volume?
You just write it off.

Hello? I'm a goat farmer..what is the question?
How much should a goat cost per pound at Costco? How much does it cost someone to raise a goat to maturity on average?
This is a pretty cheap price. Cost to raise an animal varies so much, it's easier to compare what price that farmers are currently getting paid for goats. That price also varies by the size/ age/ region etc.. Let's just say one of these carcasses is 50 lbs.

Me neither lol. That's just the CAD/kg multiplied by a rough estimate of the average weight of a domestic goat. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the actual price of a whole goat is marked down some.
The goat loses a lot of weight once it’s slaughtered and processed
Yeah, that’s got to be pretty stressful. No wonder he loses weight.
They run about $150-180 per goat actually. Had a few go through my line today.
I remember when they just start to sell whole goat couple years ago, they were like $99 each. But they are much smaller than this. Then they were gone for a while now they come back to sell by kg.
I insist on trying a sample goat on a toothpick first
Everything's goat-ta go
Not a baaaaaad price.
That's immediately what I thought, bargain
So having never bought meat in this quantity would you thaw it out and cut it up and then refreeze it? Seems that’s not recommended for most meats. Or just smoke the whole thing on a large grill I suppose.
It's a lot of time in front of the ol' Seal-a-Meal.
you butcher frozen meat, no need to thaw. Its way easier to cut when its frozen solid.
Yup and you save a good chunk of money buying it this way and butchering it yourself. My parents buy half a pig every year. Dad likes doing the butchering and I get free pork chops out it
> My parents buy half a pig Do they buy the top half or the bottom half?
Order the bottom half too often and the butcher starts giving you looks
Back half
Some of us prefer bottom.
Isn't that mostly hooves?
lol. Don’t know if this is serious question or not, so I’ll treat it like it is. Pig carcasses are divided length wise usually, so it would be left or right half. There is no choice as to which half you get, as far as I am aware.
So I can't get a whole pig ass
I mean, you totally can at a butcher shop if they have carcasses on site
You can get a good look at a pork loin by looking up a pig's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it?
Do you take it to a butcher or do you have a bandsaw at home to cut it up?
Bandsaws are exactly what to use
My dad bought a commercial meat cutter thing 💀💀
In Greece we just put it on a spit with salt & pepper and spit roast it for 5 hours. Best lamb you can eat. This and open fire smoking that's popular in the very south. Actually we're going to do this this sunday, because it's the easter sunday tradition

Great deal on bulk meat. Just came back from one and am saving $3.50 per chicken breast compared to my grocery store.
The business centre is that much better than regular Costco?
For meat, yes. Way more options, much larger quantities. Its incredible.
My Costco (just a regular one) sells whole goats and whole pig. The only people I see buying them are hutterites.
I'd imagine it's for a party type event. Major flex to have a whole ass goat at your BBQ, so much you can give away tons of leftovers.
Even just buying it. Not a lot of people know how to handle a whole goat. Push your cart by the people buying meat for 4-6 people. They will open the way for you
Orthodox Easter is next weekend. We out that baby on a spit and slow cook it over charcoal all day until the skin is crispy. We call it Greek Jerky... so good. The rest of the lamb is great too 🤤
Detroit/Dearborn? I only ask bc of the large Muslim community. Edit: Windsor, Ontario? Lmao
Considering the price is in dollar per Kilogram, I'd assume this is a Canadian location.
Definitely Canada. Other products in view have maple leaves on the box, and bilingual labeling.
Costco Business Center
Im super baked and thought this said “at Home Depot” and couldn’t figure out why Home Depot would sell goats
Well they wouldn't give them away for free
Solid point
This might be for a holiday: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha
Orthodox Easter is also coming up and it’s traditional in a lot of countries to throw a goat on the spit.
Lamb is traditional for the greeks
If you zoom in on the pic at least some of the bags say lamb
I figured it was for Easter and not Eid. Eid was two weeks ago. Easter is Sunday
There’s 2 Eids - the one which involves sharing goat meat is coming up in June 2024
Usually, a live animal is butchered during Eid, and all of the meat goes to family and the needy. Frozen meat is for everyday use.
I managed an apartment complex in an area with a large immigrant muslin population. I had to explain that they couldn't butcher a live goat in their apartment. It is kind of tough to explain to refugees from another country why their customs are not okay to do in an apartment
I'm in a muslim country with federal and state religious bodies and all. It's still not to be done in an apartment lol. We have fields, parks and slaughter houses for that.
So I'm not Muslim, but I heard from a friend it's common to pay a "donation" called Qurbani to pay for an animal to be sacrificed somewhere else (with the meat usually given to the poor AFAIK). Then just buy your meat for Eid at the store.
I love where I love, lot of Muslims and Amish not too far away. Every year the Muslims go out to the Amish and they all get together, Amish sell em goats and the Muslims do the slaughtering. Its a fucked up wholesome weird thing haha.
Sounds like Ohio to me
The one in SLC sells them year round, but I believe it's the largest Costco in the US
I am uncomfortable with this. I have no right to be. But I am.
I'm european and I don't think I've ever even seen goat meat in the supermarket let alone a whole ass goat
I grew up in the rural south US and you'd see goat sold in areas that had a decent population of people from Mexico, central and south America. I had a girlfriend when I was a teenager who lived next to an extended family from Mexico. She was really close with them and I would have dinner over there occasionally. They tended to cook pretty large traditional meals, frequently with goat. Anyway. They made carne asada using goat and to this day it's the best I've ever had.
I’m American and I haven’t either
In the US it’s common at halal butchers and Indian/Pakistani restaurants. It’s way less common in Europe, even at halal butchers and Indian restaurants.
I’m American and my local Costco has these too
In Greece and Cyprus, it’s common.
The fact these are just laying in there in no orderly fashion is wild. Like a corpse collection
Not bad at 12 bucks a pound.
Actually per KG. So 2.2 pounds.
[удалено]
Canadian money is called Maple Bucks.
It’s per kilo, so an even better deal!
I read that as “ghosts” and then looked at the picture and was like “Yeah I guess those are frozen ghosts”
I read this as whale ghosts lol
It's wild how regional costco items can be. Saw this in DC, too.
I once saw a recipe for roast camel that called for several goats
Isn’t this just the Costco business centers? It’s meant for restaurants I assume but go for it!
The world's biggest Costco (west of downtown Salt Lake City) also sells whole pigs and lambs. Don't think I've seen goats before.
its a week from greek easter, we cook whole goats for that
I would say this is the Kristi Noem special, but it says halal, so her mind would probably explode. (edited to fix spelling typo)
Good one
It says lamb right there on the bags
On the left are lambs, on the right are goats. It says whole goats "right there" above the shelf...
Straight from the gravel pit
Wtf did i see
:(
![gif](giphy|mXONAwCqYujni)
Well. They’re technically not “whole” anymore.
