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.

Has anyone there tried kale, yes that leafy green that you see in the produce section of a supermarket. Apparently it's deadly for goats. A friend of mine lives next to a hobby farm that has goats. The farmer picked a box of produce waste from a supermarket. Mixed with the lettuce was some kale which she didn't see. She fed it to her goat when she got home, next morning my friend found it dead in the middle of it's paddock.

I spent 24 years in the export meat industry and was at the beginning of the export goat meat era and saw just how much demand there was for this product as we proceed thousands of goats to the U.S. and China. 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. Come on guys, it's not that hard to do.
