  • In Australia, most goats aren't farmed, they live wild and are harvested when weather and market suit.
    But a Queensland beef producing family is pioneering a new model. Pip Courtney reports.

    Goats have always been under appreciated. They are incredible animals. Glad you are aware of the qualities the feral animals bring to the equation. Don't forget to thank the forward thinking people who brought the Boer goat to Australia. In the past there has been much suffering endured by goats being shipped live for export. The shorter the distance to the abbatoir the better. The farmers in this success story seem to have good heads on their shoulders.

      Beware - it is overgrazing that causes the droughts. Look at how dead the Earth is where the goats are, when he says this. There are millions of feral (wild) goats in Australia, which have destroyed the vegetation. Jungles create rain. Goats, camels and greedy farmers create deserts.

    Australians should realise they are not in Europe anymore.
    Ship and cattle arent the best match for much of the Australian landscape. Thats why every other year farmers are crying over losses due to the drought.
    Look what is thriving here... Goat and Camel. They have huge international demand and thrive on neglect. Bullet-proof animals that heat and drought dont bother them and feel very much at home in outback Australia.
    Not only that we could learn to eat them. Goats are in my opinion even better than lamb and camel is not much different than cattle.
    Remember we are a nation that convinced ourselves to eat "Vegemite"!

    They are a loss in the east coast of USA. We have 30% moisture in the air and very wet winters. Their feet rot out very quickly and they die from disease in humid environments very quickly. I still keep goats for getting rid of poison oak, poison ivy, and the weeds that chiggers and ticks climb up. 10 years and I have never made a profit off of them, but in that 10 years I have never gotten into chiggers and have only found 1 tick on me.

    I love lamb chops and some other cuts of lamb, but I've never cooked lamb at home, mostly because of the high price. My favorite cheese is from sheep; Manchego. I've never had goat, except cheese on other dishes. It's just not eaten here in the USA, except on some Native American reservations, and it's always Cabrito, a young roasted goat. I was invited on at least one occasion, but unable to attend. I don't eat much animal meat, but when in Australia, I never pass up a lamb curry.
