Jesse, love your posts, but, a slight error. A Borrego is a "Mountain Goat." Hence, Borregos Springs, in the San Diego desert where the mountain goats
visit their watering holes. There is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in San Diego that I LOVE that is called El Borrego, and everything on the menu,
from soup, to main courses has goat ingredients.
That being said, I love a Bakersfield Basque meal with lamb ("How many of you who will sit and judge me, have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?"
- Buck Owens) .
Yum. Love Birria de Chiva(o) as well.

I have to disagree duke, in Mexico "Borrego" is the word to describe any domesticated Sheep. The proper word is actually Cordero, but its never used
in everyday language. A Mountain goat would be a Cabra, a domesticated goat would be a Chivo.
Go to Google in spanish and search for Borrego and you will see.
Saludos.

Duke62,
Agree about El Borrego an excellent restaurant. Their source, by the way is New Zealand Lamb.
On your comments about Borrego Springs you are mistaken. Borrego which has been translated many times is Sheep and the animals that call Borrego
Springs home are Bighorn Sheep....
"They are the home of the peninsular bighorn sheep, often called desert bighorn. Few park visitors ever see them; the sheep are justly wary. A patient
few observers each year see and count them, to learn how this endangered species is coping with human encroachment."

Words have multiple meanings... A borrego is a BIGHORN SHEEP, what you are calling a 'Mountain Goat'... See, even in English a goat and a sheep have
the same name!
Another word used for BIGHORN is 'Cimarron', but I think that means 'ram' (male bighorn sheep)?
Here are some we saw near Mision Santa Maria in 2007...
