In the central western district of NSW goats are fast becoming a commodity. I used to work for RMWiliams before I retired and the big places that had goats on them used the goats to get through a big drought. They just put out portable yards with traps on the gates, put some grain, fodder of some sort and water in there. The goats would go in and as the gate was one way they couldn't get back out and the yards would hold them. Then all you had to do was back a truck up and load the goats. Shooting a goat out there nearly became a hanging offence. Australia is one of the worlds largest goat meat exporters.

Funny how it goes. I have friends with a property in NSW who can't shoot the buggers fast enough.

They're over running their place they tell me.

Yep the local butchers apprentice has the same problem with deer and goats - bloody everywhere, he just shoots 'em for Dog Tucker as far as I'm aware.

That's a "problem" I'd like to have.
