Sydney Black was born and raised in Southeast, Iowa on the generational family farm. Sydney was very active in FFA and 4-H while in high school; showing cattle and market/breeding goats. She completed her Agricultural of Science Degree at Kirkwood Community College in 2022 and has since been employed at Brenneman Pork as their Livestock Accountant.

Sydney and her family have been breeding and raising Boer goats since 2016, beginning as local producers and slowly transitioning to a customer base nationwide. In recent years, their genetics have won banners at the national level and found their way overseas. Sydney is passionate about animal husbandry and the Boer goat industry. She enjoys mentoring Junior members and spending time with friends she has made while being active in the goat industry.
