<P> Goat meat from adults is often called chevon and cabrito , capretto , or kid when it is from young animals . While `` goat '' is usually the name for the meat found in common parlance , producers and marketers may prefer to use the French - derived word chevon ( from chèvre ) , since market research in the United States suggests that `` chevon '' is more palatable to consumers than `` goat meat '' . Cabrito , a word of Spanish and Portuguese origin , refers specifically to young , milk - fed goat . In some parts of Asia , particularly India , Pakistan , Nepal , Sri Lanka and Bangladesh ; the word `` mutton '' is sometimes used to describe both goat and sheep meat , despite its more specific meaning ( limited to the meat of adult sheep ) in the UK , US , Australia and other English - speaking countries . </P>
