Meat Goat Carcass Fabrication Dr. Dwight Loveday University of Tennessee-Knoxville Food Science & Technology
Wide Variation in Goat Market Types • Dairy vs Meat • Large, Medium & Small • Results in large variation in market weights • 30 to 100+ pounds
Carcass Fabrication • Cutting of the carcass to primals, sub-primals and/or retail cuts • Carcass: portion after the hide, head, internal organs and feet are removed • Primals: wholesale cuts; major divisions of the carcass • Sub-primals: major divisions of primals • Retail cuts: consumer ready products
Live goat weight is not all edible meat • Dressing percentages 45 to 55% (avg 48%) • Dressing % is the carcass weight divided by the live weight times 100 • Example: 70 lb live goat will yield about a 33.5 lbs hot carcass
Live goat weight is not all edible meat • Cooler shrinkage 3 to 10% (avg 5%) • 33.5 lbs X 5% = 1.7 lbs • Results in a 31.8 lbs to the cutting table
Live goat weight is not all edible meat • Bone-in cut yield 70 to 85% of carcass weight • Results in about 24 lbs of product • Boneless yield 40 to 60% of carcass weight • Results in about 16 lbs of product
Meat Goat Carcass Fabrication • USDA Institutional Meat Purchasing Specifications (IMPS) describe 5 cutting styles • Related to carcass weights • Cuts for institutional and retail establishments
Meat Goat Carcass Fabrication • Terminology • Hindsaddle: portions behind the last rib • Foresaddle: portions in front of the last rib Hindsaddle Foresaddle
Meat Goat Carcass Fabrication • Terminology • Hindshank: lower hind leg • Foreshank: lower front leg Hindshank Foreshank

In Conclusion • Goat meat is termed “chevon “ or “cabrito” • IMPS will provide cutting direction that will allow goat meat sales to food service and retail markets • 5 cutting styles that are related to carcass weight • Currently most goat carcasses are sold whole, as 6-piece, or 1½ to 2 inch cubes
