Goats
Feral goats compete with livestock for feed, graze heavily on native vegetation and damage fences and rocky country.

The impact
Why feral animal management matters
Productive land
Invasive animals reduce feed, damage crops and infrastructure and add pressure to every season.
Livestock
Predators and competitors affect stock health, survival and farm income.
Native environment
Feral animals threaten native wildlife, vegetation and waterways.
Other species
More invasive animals we help with
Feral cats
Feral cats are a major predator of small native mammals, reptiles and birds, and are difficult to detect and manage without careful observation.
Wild dogs
Wild dogs can cause serious losses and stress in grazing enterprises, often affecting more than one property in a district.
Rodents
Rodents damage stored grain, wiring and infrastructure and can reduce crop yields, particularly around sheds and silos.
A note on birds
Where birds are causing a problem, we only discuss lawful, species-appropriate management. We never suggest that protected native wildlife may be controlled without the relevant approval, and we will tell you plainly if a species is protected.

We use modern observation equipment and careful site assessment. Specific methods are discussed with you directly rather than published online.
