It is akin lamb. The fat is un-edible, even thicker than sheep's fat, and good only for making candles.
The younger they are, the more tender they are. The meat has a lot of fibrous membranes in between each muscles, like goat. Same family of animal after all...
They are also as susceptible to the same diseases than sheeps and goats (hoof and mouth disease, mad cow disease, etc).
But they taste better, IMHO. The meat is redder than sheep. like a cross between the best beef and lamb.
