It's not. It's just uncommon in the anglosphere.

Nonsense. Mohair is water-resistant. And, like humans and horses, goats have hair, not fur. That's why it's called mohair and not mofur.

we mainly use them for cheese where I'm from. but I've heard that they do eat them near the Pyrenées and in Corsica. In any case, I have had goat meat before, and I will have to say that mutton is superior.

It's the opposite. Kid meat ("goat lambs") is vastly superior, the organs in particular. The only reason why you don't find them in supermarkets and similar stores is because they need open air and pastures to survive. You can't scale a goat farm to industrial proportions for meat. So you're stuck eating 4th and 5th grade meat instead. Proper beef never enters your stores. Let alone proper duck, lamb, pigeon, veal or fish.
Supermarket lamb isn't lamb. It's a mature animal. Supermarket wagyu is a crossbreed between wagyu and angus. You're being fucked in the ass and it makes you smile.

Mexico eats a lot of goat for birria/barbacoa/chile colorado. Indian and Mediterranean restaurants in the US often have it on the menu. Go to a med grocery store, you'll see it at the butcher. Stop living in your bubble.

I live in a small midwest city and can find goat at a Indian restaurant.
The serve it in a curry sauce and it is actually quite good but kind of a pain in the ass to eat because they put meat with the bones into the dish.

Id assume it’s because their niche is filled by other animals and better. If you wanted an animal that can eat anything, you'd get a pig that also gives fertilizer for crops, and if you wanted milk, you’d get a cow that produces more milk and helps plow your field. Goats are popular in the Middle East because there’s not grass for cows and most people can’t eat pork because they’re Muslim. In NZ and South America they’re more common because it’s very rocky and goats do well in that terrain. It mostly comes down to practicality, goats are just more niche.

My ex wife knew a place to get goat meat. We had a freezer and got lots of goat burger and some cuts. As a burger it tastes indistinguishable from beef. The cuts also, but the bones are smaller so they eat different.

>Thought to have originated separately from all other breeds of goat, Angora goats are different from the common, dairy or cashmere goat in many ways. Their progenitor is thought by some to be the wild Falconer's Goat, Capra Falconeri, still found in the Himalayan mountains of Tibet.

>Angora goats are small and friendly, and as long as the conditions are relatively dry, easy to manage and very rewarding. They are shorn twice a year (unlike sheep, which are shorn annually).
So, every goat except that particular breed.

Wrong. For example, muskoxen, which are native to Scandinavia but extirpated from the old world around 600BC and were reintroduced in the 20th century, also have water resistant coats. Irrespective of the name, they are very very very large goats.
Water resistance in goats is extremely common, despite the lack of lanolin. I don't quite remember how it works and didn't ever really understand it when I first heard about it but it had something to do with the hairs actually being hollow and allowing quick evaporation or something.
Other breeds and species with water resistance include American mountain goats, Spanish hill goats and famously, the fucking chamois goats of the goddamn Alps. You fucking retard.

You're an idiot. Greece, perhaps now, was not historically a third world, but it was a rocky place. They did not have the land to raise beef, so goat and lamb for the small space needed to raise them, got popular.
There are times to be racist, but youre just ignorant and dumb. Learn about the world.... or dont, just stay on 4chan fapping to /cm/

here is the real answer:
in europe, goats and kids in particular were perfectly common in the ancient mediterranean, among the germanic tribes and up until medieval times. they were mostly great replaced with sheep only in the new age because their particular grazing tendencies tends to ruin various landscapes and agricultural efforts

Goats are fucking annoying animals. I had a friend who raised goats. They jump onto things, make a lot of noise, ram them with their horns, and the males piss on their own heads because the females like it, so they smell very strongly of piss.
