About Me
- EG CameraGirl
- Name change: Originally, I started this blog to show the world what a wow place East Gwillimbury is. But I have wandered well beyond EG's borders! EG is still in my name as I am still based there. My family calls me CameraGirl because I take my camera with me wherever I go.
28 friends stopped by to say:
I did not know this...It's not much different from cows...some are for milking and some are raised for beef. Tho, I've heard that they do butcher the milk cows for beef and the flavor is not as good as the beef cattle.
Never heard of Boar Goats before. Great pictures!
Very cool shot. Your post (and sign) fit it with my post this week.
Love the posing goat on the crossing. Never thought of there being two types of goats before. Actually I really don't even think about goats...(:0)
I don't think I have ever eaten goat, but I'd love to try. The goat crossing is neat, do they use it to get from their barn to their pasture?
Sad to see the Goat on its way to the Gallows :( Oh I do hope it is crossing over to the Greens on the other side!! :))
Great goat crossing!

I think that crossing is a great idea, - I wonder if it would work for sheep?
Lots of goat meat in the Philippines; tastes a lot like mutton... but as a vegetarian, I guess that means little to you. :-D Rarely eat goat myself as it needs to be stewed, and I'm not partial to stews, especially not in our hot weather.
I used to live in a neighbourhood with lots of Jamaicans and every now and then there would be a bbq set up with goat meat on the menu. tasty. I tried not to think how cute they used to be.
The Indian restaurant in the neighborhood has goat on the weekend. Yum.

Can't say that I ever heard of a Boer Goat before today.
And I don't remember ever eating Goat meat before either. Something new to look forward to, I guess?
I didn't know this...how interesting! great pics too.
G is for...
I'm vegan...tried hard not to think about the meat part!

When I saw the xing on the end of the sign I thought it was a Chinese type, until the penny dropped, doh. Love the dedicated crossing, hope they can make a dash for freedom across it.
That's a grand looking goat. Great choice for G.
Gee, I never knew about goat being bred for its meat. When my girls were small, we'd bike a ways to see the goats at a farm nearby...it was amazing to see how intelligent they are. And now to think of killing them for meat...hmmm, don't know about that.

I like goat meat. And it's been awhile I haven't eaten one. ^_^

So qute the goat is! I love goats! And they have a bridge of their own! Fantastic! :))
weird :/ the road out to my mom's has these goats staked out to eat the weeds. We just drive around them.
Although I've never tried it, barbecued goat is supposedly quite delectable.
I've never heard of boer goats but we do have goat's meat being sold here in the market.
I do like goats - such characters! I love the photo of the goat on the bridge. Looking back for a friend, maybe?
Interesting goat facts. I knew little of goats and had never heard of Boer Goats. Superb photos!
Boer Goats are great by the look of it. We have more sheep than goats in my country. I often buy goat cheese, I love it.
Great pictures!
I wonder if there was a Billy Goat Gruff under that crossing?
That's almost a s strange as a turtle crossing!
Great shot of the goat!
