Goat Association establishes a Stallion Centre.....
This is in the "you couldn't make it up" category!  Apparently the Fuerteventura Goat Breeders Association has been awarded €100,000 by the Cabildo to subsidise the startup of the Macho Majorera Breeding Centre.  The award recognises "the significant role that the livestock sector plays in the island's economy, which supports the production of the renowned Majorero cheese in the high dairy productivity of this breed.'

Goat statues around the island
There are loads of these statues throughout the island, all decorated differently. Anyone know how many there are? How many can you spot on your travels?
Please add your pics of any other ones so we can build a library.

Sorry, tech probs, will load pics of cabras de Vallebron, La Oliva and Villaverde tomorrow.

Organic meat & vegetables
Does anyone know where we can buy ethically reared (possibly organic)  meat - Beef, sheep, goat  chickens, eggs etc?

Prefer free range animals running around in the sunshine - we see plenty of goats miles from anywhere so they could be ethically reared!

Organic vegetables are a scary price here in the supermarkets - do any farms have farm shops?

We are in Caleta, so ideally local if possible.

Thank you in advance

Where to buy goat meat
Where can I buy this for cooking at home?  I used to be able to get it in Mercadonna but they do not appear to sell it anymore.
