Tainted meat?

A friend wants to butcher a yearling buck that I have but we are not sure if the meat will be tainted since the buck has been breeding a couple of does. I know that a breeding hog will have tainted meat but I don't know if a goat will. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!
Dan

Just be sure you don't get any hair on the meat as you process it.

And if you have any doubts, just have it all ground and use in chili, tacos, etc. Been successful making some fairly gamey sage brush fed antelope palatable with enough spices. Soaking the meat in milk(and drain) just before cooking seems to help too. Not sure why, I think it has to do with enzymes.

We had 2 yr old buck in rut done. The meat was delicious!! He was all ground & half was Italian sausage.
Testicles were the first to be removed after hanging.
