Feral goats compete directly with livestock for pasture and browse, damage fences, and cause severe land degradation through overgrazing. In rocky and semi-arid areas of Central West NSW, feral goat populations can build rapidly without active management, leading to significant environmental and economic impact.
Ecological Threat
Compete with livestock for pasture and water. Overgrazing and browsing causes significant vegetation damage in semi-arid regions.
JBM's Management Approach
Live trapping, aerial culling, and ground shooting - with drone detection for locating mobs in rugged terrain.
