GOAT FARMING IN AUSTRALIA
Goats farming is a relatively small industry in Australia compared to cattle and sheep, but has seen significant growth in recent years. As one of the first domesticated herd animals, goats have been used for their meat, fleece, hides and milk for more than two thousand years.
​
Goat meat has the advantage that there no cultural or religious taboos associated with it, and it has a low cholesterol content compared to beef or pork.
Goats are well suited to smaller rural holdings; as five to seven head of goats can be run in the same space as one head of cattle.
Goats can also help to control woody weeds such as blackberries as they tend to preferentially graze the weeds. This can then help reduce the cost, labour and chemical environmental contamination associated with controlling pasture weeds. Goats also have the benefit of being able to be run on land that’s unsuitable for other production animals, such as steep rocky areas. They can also easily cross-graze with other livestock stock species.
