Goat Series: EP 3 - Transitioning to a goat rotational grazing system - with Sam LeLievre

In NSW, landholders have long been capturing and more recently, managing  nomadic rangeland goats, descendants of early settlers' breeds, which roam freely across the landscape. This shift in management allows for better control over stocking rates and grazing pressure, benefiting both landholders and the environment. In this episode, our host Kieran Smith explores the evolving goat industry over the past two decades, examining historical and current trapping and mustering methods, and uncovering valuable insights from rotational grazing practices.
