LOL! I knew that would raise an eyebrow!


Well while I was at the festival in Cambridge last weekend I came across a stall/van selling free range,organic goat burgers. Fucking delicious they where as well,any way I got talking to the guy and he says that in England all male goats are culled at birth because there's no need/demand for them where as the females are kept for making milk/cheese and stuff.

He's getting baby male goats for either free or next to fuck all (he won't tell) raising them on his little farm in Skipton (not far from me) and then slaughtering them,boning out the whole animal and then minces them to make burgers. He sells the burgers ONLY at festivals and charges £5 a pop (well worth it).

His partner reluctantly told me when he wasn't around that they get about 50 burgers from each goat,pulling them around £250 per goat.

Well I thought about this for a while,my girlfriends family have more then 100 acres of free land in Poland doing fuck all (they used to farm pigs and stuff back in the day but they're all retired and too old now). I'm thinking about nicking the guys business model and up scaling it,raise the goats in Poland,slaughter them and make burgers/steaks in Poland then rent a refrigerated van and drive them back to England,sell em and make a killing.

They're fed on powdered milk for fucks sake,cheap as chips!

If u put one of them fish tank heater in to heat the water the roots will grow much faster. I set mine to 26

Sounds good but where you going to sell them?????? It will be really expensive for a pitch at a festival. My friends older brother sells porridge(all different flavours) He started off at festivals, now hes worth a few quid. Hey we could go into partnership and call it Billy Goats. lol

Eye it is expensive for a pitch but if I was just to use Cambridge Folk Festival as an example.

There's around 25000 people sat in a field getting pissed and stoned from 10am to 10pm for 4 days straight,if just a quarter of those people (6250) buy 1 burger from you over the 4 days at £5 a pop you've pulled £31.250,that averages just short of £8000 a day!
