Thread: New to Welly area, advice on goats?

Today, one can walk the walkways on the hills or around the coastline and easily spot mobs of them. Hard not to put your imaginary cross hairs on them and work out how one would take out the whole mob.

I have heard they are farming them out there now as they are worth a few bucks.
