Just chiming in on the goats. When I lived in the SW, I was very near the Navajo reservation. Several times we had goat roasts. It wasn't grilling the meat on a barbeque - it was going to the rez to get a goat and then putting the prepared animal in a roasting pit! Unique experience.
I had a greek friend/musician who saved the goat skin and made a bagpipe out of it - can't remember the instrument name now, but I'm sure it was greek. lodo
