Why Buy and Eat Chevon?

Country-of-Origin Labeling

Under Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, most products entering the United States must be clearly marked so that the "ultimate purchaser" can identify the country of origin. Imported meat products are subject to this requirement: imported carcasses and parts of carcasses must be labeled, and individual retail (consumer-ready) packages also must be labeled.

Imported carcasses or parts generally go to U.S. plants for further processing. The labeling policy considers these plants as the "ultimate purchasers." Therefore, any products these plants make from the imported meat (for example, ground beef patties made in the United States from beef that originated in Canada or elsewhere) do not have to bear country-of-origin labels.

The USDA reports the saturated fat in cooked goat meat (chevon) is 40% less than that of chicken - even with the skin removed! Out of 4 favorite exotic meats (venison, rabbit, buffalo, and chevon), chevon is the lowest in cholesterol! Chevon (aka cabrito) is 50-65% lower in fat than similarly prepared beef, but has similar protein content!

Tired of the same old meals?

Try this low-fat, low cholesterol, zero carbohydrate solution to the dull diet! Copeland Family Farm's Certified American Chevon TM is raised in Northern California on lush native pastures. No added hormones or antibiotics to our meats; just great genetics make this one of the largest weaning weight meat goat operations in the United States. We have been working with superior genetics in the industry to produce top milking does that will produce up to 50% larger weights at weaning.
