A Goat Catcher’s Pilgrimage
An Australian Rangeland goat producer travels the world in 2010 as a Nuffield Farming Scholar studying goat management in arid areas and opportunities for the Australian rangeland goat industry
Hi
Really great to meet you Chris! Looking forward to discussing goat meat in Washington with you.
I set off to London on Wednesday for a couple of days and then we arrive on the Saturday.
We have been selling goat meat for 4 years now and sell via the internet, farmer’s markets and food festivals. Mostly selling to foodies and general public. As you know UK has demand for the meat but few stocks…….. OZ has a lot of stocks, there was a documentary last month on the feral goats being harvested. You have good conditions for goats there.
Thanks for getting in touch,
best wishes,
Marnie
All the best Chris! You are in for one heck of an adventure, that’s for sure.
Just remember…those experiences that freak you out or drive you mad may be your best stories when you get home, so enjoy it all!
Have a great trip Christine. I look forward to following your progress via your blog. Hopefully you’ll get a bit of time for some R&R in addition to the main aim of the trip. Sounds like more rain may be on the way to you from the NT & SW Qld. With a bit of luck you’ll come home to enjoy the legacy of a bumper season.
Cheers,
Bob
