      Wild and feral is not the same. Goats have nothing to do outside of a farm in Australia. (If you don’t care about them endangering Australian animals, you can maybe introduce predators and wait several years until a balance is restored. But the goats and predators will do some damage, the question is “is that ok?”)

    mainly because I was a Muzzle Loading shooter.
    At lunch time everything stopped and we ate at the club house.
    They had two spits going on their deck and when I asked what the meat was, it came back as GOAT.
    I have to admit, it was the best meat I'd eaten in years.
    I now hunt goat, not to cull, but for my freezer.

They are browsers not grazers. That changes the flavor of the meat. Just like a corn or grain fed beef tastes slightly different from a grass fed. Our dairy goats find some weed each fall that makes the milk taste metallically. Can't drink it straight but fine to cook with.

Feral dogs and cats + foxes may be the worst Aust-wide problem, but the top end has it BAD with pigs and water buffalo. Then central Aust has a bad camel problem.

    The vast majority of Australian landscape is not suitable for farming sheep and cattle, but perfect for goat and camel.
    Australians should realise they are no longer in Europe. If they switch from sheep and cattle to Goat and Camel they wont have problems such as drought and disease the way they have with other animals. The quality of the meat is good (perhaps better) and the international market is strong with less competition.

    Boer and woollies are grass eaters. We like brush goats and their favorite feed is mesquite. It has the same feed value (leaves) as clover. Raising it for the pods to fatten livestock is growing. But, pods need to be crushed to help digest the 36% protein beans.

    After just watching a video on a problem with camels it's not hard to see that if 2 export dual species meat works were set up, 1 in W.A. the other in outback N.S.W there is definitely an opportunity to create jobs, control 2 ferrel species, and build a sustainable industry to benifit Australia.
