Feral Goat Control

Specialists in Feral Goat Control within Aotearoa, New Zealand

Goats were introduced to New Zealand in the early days of European settlement for food, to establish a commercial fibre industry, and for weed control on developing land. The descendents of those that escaped or were deliberately released thrived in the country’s grass hills, forest and scrubland areas.

Feral goats can quickly destroy all vegetation within their reach, threatening native plants and damaging the forest understorey. Our team have extensive experience in the removal of feral goats from New Zealand bushland and surrounding hill country. Whether the requirement is a one off shoot to remove a mob of goats or an extensive ground hunting operation we have dog teams available and we can deliver the desired outcome.
