Foreigners attracted to goat man
Indianapolis | October 08, 2007 12:01:13 AM IST
Visitors are flocking to an Indiana farm where they can slaughter their own goats. The farm, where the motto is You Buy -- You Kill -- You Dress -- You Take Home, was founded in 1999, about 20 miles from Indianapolis by 80-year-old Tom Prince, who developed a taste for goat meat during the Depression, The Indianapolis Star reported Sunday. Since then, it has attracted customers -- who know Prince as goat man -- from countries such as Eritrea, Pakistan and Mexico where goat meat is a dietary staple. Visitors to the farm are attracted by the chance to slaughter meat according to their cultural and religious traditions -- and the low price of the fresh meat does not hurt either, the newspaper said. It is not uncommon, Prince said, for fathers to bring their sons and teach them how to slaughter the animals. Prince sells about 50 goats each weekend, the newspaper said, but about twice as many before religious holidays. (UPI)
