This paper analyzes the costs and returns
of meat goat farms for the US and
Southeastern US region. We compare
components of costs and returns of meat
goat production based on operation size
(small and large) and targeted marketing
segment (slaughter, breeding/show, and
mixed). Our costs and returns analyses
show that input expenses decrease
substantially with increasing scale of
operation. Increasing the number of meat
goats for small meat goat farms can lead
to reduced input expenses per acre.
