Thread: New Here got my licence this month Goat Problem

For a while in the 80's goats were worth a fortune - black feral nannies around 150, ginger were worth heaps less but people sill made pretty good money mustering wild goats... a mate and i were up the wanganui river once back then and near pipiriki i saw a big blackberry bush on the side of the road moving a lot so got my mate to stop the truck - turns out there was a little maori kid about 9 or 10 in there hanging on to a big ginger buck ... the boy was adamant he didn't want any help as his mates had gone to get his dad and a truck to load the goat into. i offered to tie the goat up for him but no he didn't want any help at all . tough little bugger as he was getting ripped up everytime the goat got its breath back. we drove off in due course but i did wonder if the goat won the day or that tough little kid
