Goat steak is very rare and comes from male goats that are usually culled at birth because in the UK we have no use for male goats.

The females are used for dairy and the males are killed off.

These 2 brothers in Skipton (who I met at Cambridge Folk Festival a few years ago) have a small farm and they buy up baby billys for dirt cheap (they even get them for free sometimes) because they're gonna get killed off anyway.

They raise the male goats on the farm in Skipton and market the meat themselves.


Goat meat has more protein and is leaner than beef, and if young it's also a lot sweeter.
It's fucking amazing in a burger, 1 of the 2 best burgers I've ever had was one of their goat burgers.

Looks to be a solid 3, maybe 3.5 but it's not a 4.

Well I have to let you into a little secret.

Wagyu cattle only has to actually be 75% pure breed Wagyu to be legally called 'Wagyu'.


I watched a documentary a couple of months ago with a farmer who is raising Wagyu in Scotland, he bought a 100% pure breed Wagyu embryo for £400 from Australia and has crossed that with his domestic beef, then puts the bull back over it's offspring to get 75% Wagyu (or something like that).


Even on the packet of that Aldi steak it says........

"Selected from cattle sired by registered pedigree Wagyu bulls"


Which means the father was a pedigree Wagyu, not the mother.

It's a bit of a scam tbh.

Make me think though, why not just buy a few fucking embryos so you get a proper male and female the have 100% Wagyu?

Cheap cunts taking the easy option. lol

If the bird who does my inspections saw the house an hour before she turns up! :lol:


Or if she lifted the rug up in the spare bedroom, she'd see where the tent used to be on the carpet.
