what sort of feral goats are they? We have alot of feral goats here and have run them quite a bit. Not a challenge kinda like catching slightly wild sheep. Old stag I had would meet a mob and grab one on the back of the head/neck and hold, once you got hold or shot/stuck it he would take off and grab another, would get 4 or 5 this way in the end would put him on the lead before getting him off the last goat as he would keep going and catching. Some of the bigger billies would have a go with their horns but they arent sharp and havent got alot of impact behind them

Didnt get any pics of him back then but have got a couple from later on..

this one doesnt look real big in the pic but once gutted he still took 2 of us struggling to get him in the vehicle, the big billies on average go about 40-45kg dressed

Are you lads for real??? - (anonymous and wild rover) or just being silly billies!!!!! ..... get it!

 

Anyways, the ones around mine look most similar to the goat in your first pic hairy bull! And similar sizes aswell, see the odd light one, but mainly dark with lighter patches.

 

Any more pics hairybull?
