Over 70% of the world’s population consumes Goat Meat.  The United States has been slow to recognize the benefits of this remarkable animal.  However, over the last ten years more people in this country have discovered the economic and health benefits of eating Goat Meat.  We hope you will too.

Ashland Hills Ranch has a small herd of Boer Goats.  Our main focus is to provide a superior meat animal and to promote this excellent meat to all who desire a healthy alternative to Beef, Pork, Chicken and Lamb.  Goat Meat has little to no fat.  For the best flavor and texture cook with a slow, moist heat and avoid over cooking.  A CrockPot (slow cooker) is an ideal vessel for Goat Meat preparation.
