Thread: Feral goats for meat

Graces buy them live as well and ive sold some through them in the past but there's a lot of hoop jumping to sell them dead which I have never understood.
The explanation evidently is to ensure that nothing that may have been harvested in an area that has either an active or up to 2 years prior poisoning program for tb or other vertebrate pest enters the food chain.
In my case I have 50 regional council bait stations on my farm using brodi.
I can sell goats mustered in into the human food chain exactly the same way as my beef and lamb are with no restrictions. However if attempted to supply animals to a processor that had been shot I would need to prove they had not been harvested within a certain distance from a poisoning operation boundary or that no poison had been used within a certain time frame. Yet these same animals have been running side by side with farmed stock.
Just another amusing little 3 monkey story from mpi
