No, I normally cook hogs, but they take so long, 12 or more hours, whereas a goat take only 5 hours.
Doesn't everyone cook a whole hog or goat or somethign for the 4th?
Hamburgers are kind of whimpy when you are used to a large game animal.

Well, if you have a lot of people over, it is the best way to feed them all.
A whole goat can feed a bunch of people, and most of them have never seen such a thing.
When it takes two people to lift it off the grill, with one on its front legs and another carrying its back legs, and it is carried to the serving table, folks feel like they are eating like a medieval king.
The sight of a large whole animal is simply amazing, and you can't help but think, "Wow. I want to eat some of that!"

People love it for the spectacle, but it is grounded in 2 reasonable things:
1. It really does taste delicious.
2. It is about the most economical way to feed a lot of folks.

You see you are getting a much more expensive piece of meat that a hamburger or hot dog, but since you have purchased a whole animal, the price per pound is not any more expensive than your mundane hot dogs and hamburgers.

Glen is right. Just make sure, Glen probably already knows this, to get a nice fat young goat(cabrito) because no one wants to eat an old goat. Theyre tough, gristly, and fatty.
:evil::Q😀
We'll be over tirectly!

How much do they go for?

A buck a pound.
Then you have to get it butchered.
That brings it up to almost $1.50 to $2 a pound.
However, that is bones and all, so It is more like $3 to $4 a pound of eating meat.
So, you are right at the cost of decent hamburger meat, but it is a heck of a lot cooler to stand in front of a grill with a whole goat in there than standing in front of a few burgers.
