Re: [blackbelly] Lousy Waco Prices

[Susan Smith]

From what I was told Boar Goat meat is fetching over $8.00 a pound in NY 
resturants.  Similiar prices are to be had here in the Northeastern part of 
the US. as Britt stated in Florida.  Believe it or not I have not eaten one 
of my lambs/sheep because of the sales. Sue

Do you have any idea why Texas ranchers are selling their sheep and moving 
to goats? I'm giving a presentation at the North American Hair Sheep 
Symposium in San Angelo, TX October 6-8 and when I read your comment I 
thought it might be interesting to hear your insight so that I can perhaps 
address this concern in my presentation. Do you think this is just a 
regional (Waco) thing or do you see this trend in other parts of Texas?

Goats, goats and more goats are what the former TX barbado ranchers have.
A few are still ridding themselves of all hair sheep.
