Abstract
In the United States, meat goat
production has increased as the demand
for goat meat has expanded due to
immigration from Central and South
America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle-
East. Mail survey data were collected from
US meat goat farmers during the summer
of 2012, to examine the current status
of US meat goat farms. Results obtained
from the survey provide a snapshot
into meat goat farmers’ adoption of
technology, management practices, and
production systems in the United States.
