🐐 Breeding season at Backyard Barn is officially DONE! 🤞
Tinsel didn't take to Bam Bam, but she made it VERY clear she was back in heat 😂 so she was bred to Little Bear instead! 🐻❤️
Now everyone just needs to STAY BRED… and preferably give me ALL BUCKS so I don't have to make any hard cuts next year.

🐐 GOAT MEAT — DID YOU KNOW?
We recently had one of our market goats processed, and it got us thinking about how many people really don’t know much about goat meat!
🐐 Our goat weighed approximately 100 lbs live and we brought home about 50 lbs of packaged meat.
A few fun facts about goat meat:
• Goat meat is high in protein and a good source of iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.
• It is generally leaner than many common cuts of beef and pork.
• Goat can be used in many of the same ways as other red meats — chops, roasts, burgers, sausage, stews, tacos and more.
• The flavor is often described as mild and slightly sweet, especially from younger meat goats.
• The amount of packaged meat you get varies depending on the animal, how it's finished, bone-in vs. boneless cuts, and how the processor cuts it.
• From roughly 100 lbs on the hoof to 50 lbs in the freezer, this one gave us a great example of what raising a meat goat can put on the family table.
🌾 From the barn to the freezer — there's a lot more to raising goats than what you see in the show ring! 🐐❤️

We’ve put alot of thought into the pairing we’ve put together this season! Our goal is to continue building on bone, body, depth, maternal character, structural correctness and overall balance, while choosing bucks that complement what each doe brings.
❤️ Daphne × Simba — CONFIRMED
Daphne is a big-framed, substantial, proven doe with length, bone and tremendous body capacity. She’s deep through her flank and carries that depth forward toward her heart girth, giving her the maternal build we really appreciate. She’s a good dam and the kind of doe we’re excited to continue building around.
Simba brings power, mass, width, bone and muscle in a stout package. We’re really looking forward to seeing Simba’s power and substance combined with Daphne’s length, depth and maternal capacity.
💕 Letta × Little Bear — EXPOSED
Letta is a proven, good dam with a long, deep and balanced body, plenty of capacity and a smooth overall build. We especially appreciate her functionality, strong pasterns and the way she carries herself through her topline and rear assembly.
Little Bear brings bone, width, body and substance while maintaining a functional build on his feet and legs. We’re hoping this pairing combines his stoutness and power with Letta’s length, balance and maternal qualities.
💜 Ziggy × Simba — EXPOSED
Ziggy is a young doe with a lot of maternal potential already showing. She’s deep through her flank and maintains that depth as you move forward toward her heart girth, giving her plenty of capacity. She’s has some maturing to do, but we’re really excited about the doe she may develop into.
Pairing her with Simba gives us the opportunity to add his width, bone, muscle and overall power to the depth and maternal character Ziggy already possesses. This is going to be a fun cross to watch.
💙 Tinsel × Bam Bam — EXPOSED
Tinsel came to us already exposed to Bam Bam. She’s a feminine young doe with body, length and capacity, and we’re excited to see her continue to develop as she settles into our program.
Bam Bam (not our buck)brings serious mass, bone, depth and substance, making this a really exciting combination. If she settled, we’re very curious to see how Tinsel’s femininity and balance combine with Bam Bam’s power and dimension.
Daphne is confirmed; pregnancy confirmations are still pending on Letta, Ziggy and Tinsel. 🤞

We put a lot of thought into what each doe brings and what we hope each buck will complement.
we're excited for this kidding season we think it could be our best one yet!!😁🐐

We will ultrasound in about 30 days to confirm pregnancy if pregnant we will ultrasound again 30days after that to get a count

Meet RACK4 TINSEL💜

Tinsel comes to us from Louis Farm. She is a doe I have been watching grow for quite some time now, and we finally have the privilege of having her in our barn!

Not only is this girl beautiful, but her genetics are pretty impressive too! I am so excited to watch her continue to grow and I cannot wait to see what this girl does for our herd! 🐐💜

Welcome to the barn, Tinsel! 🥰
