Goat is a kosher animal. Provided that the goat has been slaughtered by a qualified shochet, deveined, and properly salted, goat is a perfectly kosher food. Like all other meat, it needs to be cooked with kosher utensils and kept separate from milk or dairy products.

Why is it kosher to use egg batter when breading chicken, but not kosher when pairing milk and meat together (like cheese and a hamburger)? Reply

in response to Marc:
The Torah very specifically forbids meat and milk, but makes no mention of a prohibition of mixing chicken and egg. Reply
a friend wants to get kosher goat meat but it is hard to find.
if a person purchases a live goat from a halal farm and then has a certified shochet shecht and prepare it, is it kosher?
As long as it is alive and not injured, that can work.
could any goat, alive and uninjured, prepared by a shochet, be kosher?
I thought there were some stipulations about what livestock are fed?
