I once raised cows simular to the type you see in Cambodia. They were a Italian breed called Chianina. Photoes I took of them.

svay Rieng area. If ur paying more ur getting ripped off
It's already been mentioned a few times that there are many different varieties of cow and they don't all cost the same price.

I don't know where to buy goat meat but it is sold. A restaurant I go to has goat dumplings.

Cambodians don't eat much goat, don't know if it is a good idea to raise goat. I guess many Cambodians prefer eating pork.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Somouth,, I think you will find that the Cham Muslims do not eat pork, however I do know that they eat goat meat. When I see goat meat being sold along side chicken, beef and pork,,, only then will I say it may not be a good idea to raise goats.

I think my knowledge about goat meat in Cambodia is really limited. I have never eaten once. I don't like Indian food.

You'll find that mutton in ANY country is sheep meat.
