anyone have any experience doing this?

Wouldn't a divorce be um, less emotionally traumatic?

Yes. Dig a pit. Fire up the pit. Put the goat between a couple of metal
frames if you want to butterfly it, or on a spit if you want that. We did
both ways a couple of years ago.

We cooked them about 3 or 4 hours IIRC.

That may actually be the safest way to do it.
By leaving the central nervous system intact,
you prevent leakage of cerbrospinal fluid
all over the rest of the meat, which may
reduce the chance of spreading prions
(infectious agent for transmissable spongiform
encephalopathy), should they be present.

I had pit roasted sheep a few years ago with the head on. I didn't eat
the eyes, but the sinus was yummy. It is surprising what you will eat
when overcome by the heavenly odor.

I've seen it done and ate the results (WONDERFUL) but it was over 20 years
ago and I really don't remember any of the details (time, approximate
temperature, etc.).

How old is the goat, how much will it weigh when butchered, and is it
male or female?

How do they kill animals like that? Do they skin them alive?

For one thing, there is meat in the head.

Many of us have the notion that animals only have loin chops and steaks.
There are lots of other meaty treats in them. Much ends up in sausage or
ground meat.

My guess is that you would not have wanted to be at the dinner the night
before. It was a game of "guess the body part".

You can visit my web page see a pig or two being cooked.

Thank you to everyone who chimed in. I took a 25 lb goat, marinated it
24 hours in 6 bottles of wine, 3 limes a cup of olive oil, 15 cloves of
garlic and a cup of juniper berries. We stuffed its body cavity with
rosemary and roasted it over a wood fire for 5 hours, basting constantly.

It was superb. Everyone but one person who had not had goat before liked
it, and everyone but one who had had goat before said it was the best
they had ever eaten.
