Distinguish between goat meat and sheep meat is divided into the following points:

1, touch feel:

Sheep meat: because of the fat content is more, so touch is more sticky, and sheep activity is relatively small, so the meat touch is more loose.

Goat meat: less fat content, so it is not sticky to the touch, and the amount of movement is relatively large, the meat feels tighter, not loose.

2, look at the shape of the wool: there is basically a residual hair on the lamb, so we can judge whether it is goat or sheep by the shape of the wool.

If the residual wool on the mutton is curly and the wool is soft, it means it is sheep meat, if the wool is straight and hard, it means it is goat meat.

3, look at the muscle fibers:

Sheep meat: muscle fibers are finer and shorter.

Goat meat: muscle fibers are thicker and longer.

4, look at the ribs:

Sheep: ribs are narrower and shorter.

Goat: the ribs are wider and longer.

Difference between goat meat and sheep meat:

1, sheep meat is more flavorful than goat meat. Sheep meat muscle fibers interspersed with fat content than goat, so eat up, the aroma is more intense, that is, sheep meat relative to goat meat is more fat.

2, different taste. The texture of sheep meat is more delicate and soft, while the texture of goat meat is more robust, but also more firewood. This is mainly because of the sheep meat mixed with more fat, so eat the meat will be more tender and fat.

Goat habits lively and active, generally free-range, so the meat will be more elastic, more chewy, but also because of this, goat meat fiber is thicker, so the taste will also be easier to old, eat more firewood.

3, the stink is different. Sheep meat stink is very small, and goat meat stink heavy.

The reason why goat meat stinks is because goat meat fat contains a substance 4-methyl-octanoic acid fatty acids, this fatty acid volatilization will produce a special stink, and the smell is very strong, not easy to get rid of, so the goat meat will be eaten up stinky heavy.
