Canning results two days after butchering a goat

Well, the results are in.  My little girls and I canned 13 quarts of cubed meat, 7 quarts of pinto beans / veggies / cubed meat soup, (7) 44 ounces jars (recycled honey jars) of the same soup, and I still have a small amount of ground meat and many soup bones.  It's not that much, compared to a beef, but it was done quickly and neatly.

Two more to butcher but that will wait until February because 6 Nubian does are about to kid.

Oh yes, speaking of canning, we were given so many huge sweet turnips and ours in the garden are ready to harvest, so I think that we will can a huge bunch.  I don't know how canned turnips will taste but I can't see letting them go to waste.

Goat meat

We raise Boer and Dairy goats. We have never eaten any goat before, we sell them. Can you tell me what the goat meat compares to, such as beef,deer, lamb or does it have a taste of its own?
I think I will try the recipe you posted. Thank you!

Please post how you would can your turnips. I so many here to and I am not sure what to do with them. I tried cooking them down and freezing in a plastic bag, but they tasted funny.
thanks

I'm a sad homesteader...I have never, in my entire life of :::ahem, cough cough::: years eaten a turnip.

Yesterday we were gifted with a HUGE bag of them and I have no clue what to do with them, how to cook them, what they taste like, how to can them....nothing.

I can't wait to learn! I might need to include them in my garden plan.
