If it's hot outside you have to do it quickly & you can't hang the carcass to age. And, if you want to keep the pelts, summer isn't the time to do it either. So as much as I like the idea of butchering right after weaning, I also like the idea of being able to butcher when it's cold outside & the fact that when we want to keep the pelts, they will be ok for tanning during the cold weather. <br /><br />Good luck on your future Nigerian herd!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-28434271907099401182011-01-10T16:08:25.332-06:002011-01-10T16:08:25.332-06:00This is a nice post. ;) It's given me some t...This is a nice post. ;) It's given me some things to ponder, since I eventually want Nigerians, but planned on eating the male kids. But since they're not a meat goat, I don't know when is a good time to butcher them, etc., etc.<br /><br />So your comment about perhaps butchering shortly after weaning gives me something to plan for in the future.<br /><br />Thank you. :)Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687244265915794402noreply@blogger.com
