Pearce Pastures: Where did I go?

Alright, he is marinating and is on the Friday menu. I mixed up a sort of blend of recipes for my marinade and am turning the leg every few hours in the mix: 3 tsp salt, 2 tsp rosemary, 2 tsp black pepper, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 cup white wine, 1 cup olive oil. I also put in some pin pricks into the leg and rubbed the mixture in really well to get it started.

It goes in the oven at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon at 250 degrees, and DH has instructions to baste it every 30-40 minutes.

Maybe this sounds weird, but I smelled it, thinking maybe it would have a gamey odor or something but really just smells like beef right now.

The one time I have had goat (in high school, so like 10 year ago) I described the taste as deer without the wild taste. I'd love to have goat again.

We had goat at a conference I recently went to, and it was really really good! Enjoy your feast!

Ohhhh,,,,,,my,,,,,,goodnesss. It was amazing! Seriously awesome! I could not be happier about the way this turned out.

It was such a hit. My mother tends to be picky about tastes and texture and she is all about LETS GO BUY MORE!!!

I cooked it to the point that it was just starting to fall apart, nice and loose. Mom brought over a raspberry chipoltle sauce to go with it, some mashed potatoes, and a side of roasted brussel sprouts and mushrooms.

So no bucky or goaty taste even a tiny bit, no gaminess or like what I would think of in venison. Just a nice, mild, meat with a different taste from beef but in a very tasty way.

We spent the rest of the evening talking plans for a building on mom and dad's acreage and how many does to start up with for our meat herd.

Well, so far the plan is to get some large cross-breed does (2-3 of them). We are debating the breeds though that we might want in a doe. I was quite happy with the meat on this one but I am not sold on 50%boer 50% Sable as our breeding animals. I like the idea of having some dairy in their as the kids will be dam raised and the Boer is good for growth....more research to come
