There's a pretty low population as most people have their own measures to control them, ie three farms have me, they all feed goat as dog food.

I got into it by putting on my best smile and talking to the grand-daddy of the area who then took a shine to me and introduced me to other land owners.

Not that any of this is really helping you with your public land goat issue but I guess just rock up to a farm and say gidday. Seriously, it works. You have to pluck up a bit of courage but as long as you're not a complete muppet, I'm sure you'll get some great pointers. I knocked on the door of a farm in the Wairarapa once and got so much help it wasn't funny. Just don't take your shotgun to the door!

G'luck.

Great advice Dougie....
