Half Goat

Half Goat


Enjoy the rich flavor and versatility of locally raised goat in a size that fits a smaller household or freezer. A Half Goat from Homestead Natural Meats gives you a convenient way to stock up on high-quality meat while still choosing the cuts and packaging that work best for your kitchen.

What You’ll Receive

A half goat typically yields about 12–18 lbs of take-home meat once processed.* Your order may include a smaller assortment of:

Shoulder – Roast, chops, stew meat, or grind.

Loin – Loin chops or a small loin roast, depending on size.

Ribs/Rack – Rib sections or chops when size allows.

Leg – Roast or leg steaks.

Neck, Breast, and Shanks – Great for stew meat, slow cooking, or grind.

Additional Options – Cubed goat or ground goat based on your preferences.

Because each animal is different, the exact assortment and size of cuts will vary. Smaller carcasses may yield fewer chops and more stew meat or grind, depending on your cutting instructions. For more info and cut sheets click here.

What to Expect

Take-home weight is typically 12–18 lbs, depending on the size of the animal and your custom instructions.*

Your goat comes fully processed, boxed, and frozen, ready to go straight into your freezer.

A half goat typically requires about 0.5 cubic foot of freezer space.

Ordering a Half Goat is a convenient, economical way to enjoy locally raised goat while still getting a nice variety of cuts for everyday cooking.

With Homestead Meats, you’re not just filling your freezer, you’re supporting local ranchers, sustainable land stewardship, and a tradition of quality trusted for more than 20 years.
