Drive from your place to Wairoa, if you haven't seen a few hundred goats you shouldn't be driving.
Next start knocking on doors.
Good luck. Most cockies up that way are rightly or wrongly pretty possessive of the goats and considering AFFCO process them they are a another revenue stream for many.Quote:

Yup, I've lost a couple of spots for shooting them because they are worth money. My brother was on a farm, half a day getting goats paid the year lease for the land.Quote:

Pretty sure it depends on the size of the goat but last I heard it was $30+
I think the schedule is $3.30/kg lw, at least it was in March
90-150 bucks!
Was just about to say up to 150
worth more than sheep if you believe brads.

Lamb is 6.10cw here at the mo
So 120 for a big lamb
You guys need two half your prices by the way. The 3.30 is cw I big buck is only 13kgs cw
Article I read was in a farming news paper, was about the Auckland market, supply not keeping up with demand, was for those Muslims
Wow didn't know they were worth anything. I was going to tell where you can shoot the fuckers all day for $10. But not now.:)
Got to cut their throat while they are still alive while saying prayers for it to be halal.
Yes they need to go on truck alive, I got some out of the pines and locked them in a paddock, got too close to them and the whole lot either went through or over the fences and gone again, so the sheep yards wont hold them
Pretty big Indian community keen on goat all around NZ too. We had a buyer in Hastings who would pay for $20 ea for young nannies. Head shot & gutted. Paid for gas to go hunting out the back of @Toby land.Quote:

Ruakituri. Bit like you though, access has been knocked back. Was a mate of a mate sort of deal
Ahhh righto, knock any deer over? There's a video on youtube of a heli shoot on a farm up that way they had a fair sized pile of deer at the woolshed
Saw plenty. Nearly ran over a handful last time we went.Quote:

Need decent fences or they will just walk through them. Use dogs and muster them
Yea sorry brads. Not sure how I managed to type in LW, I was meaning carcass wt.(at least I knew what I was on about!)Quote:
