If you personally enjoy goat meat it definitely makes more sense, but I've never had it... what would you compare it to, lamb maybe?

Tastes more like beef, to me, than lamb. A lot of ground goat meat that you can buy includes meat from bucks (especially when they are in rut) which massively changes the flavor profile because they are stinky ****ers and that stink transfers to the meat itself.
I've kept meat breed chickens but they are, to me, a far bigger headache than they are worth. Dare I say that slaughter day on my last batch of chickens led to a lot of release of hostility towards them and I was happy to do it. I don't have the patience for egg layers. Gotta keep them bitches around for almost a year before you even see an egg. I also disliked the confrontational nature of roosters and honestly felt bad putting my foot into them like I'm taking a corner kick in soccer. That may seem contradictory to my last statement but I did not want to injure an animal that was going to keep living.
I don't **** with milk goats because I have absolutely no desire to spend 2-3 hours of my mornings squeezing goat tits. That said... goat milk is an excellent option for people who are lactose intolerant. In fact, back in the day, some people would feed their human babies directly from goats because they were frightened by a spread of transferable diseases from "wet nurses".
Not that I have kids of my own but... the quality of the milk is excellent for people.
