I'm not trying to be a smartarse here, but is your FAC conditioned for goats? DEFRA recommend minimum .243, 100gr. for culling feral goats.

as sounder said no problem here with culling ferral goats Ric,One herd alone consist of 60- goats,the other herds are a few miles apart and are of a smaller size ,20-30 and the other a little bigger.By this time next year they'll have trebled.The 223 is more than suffiecient to do the job.Mind you the big billys need to be head shots as they are fairly big.I was speaking to a cop in that rural area and even hes complaining about them.If theres any hassle anyway he can contact me as I gave him my mobile number.

OK people. I do tend to quote UK legislation, and forget that youse guys have a system that makes more sense. Now, a mild goat curry, Basmati rice, with raisins and sultanas, mango chutney, Here I go again getting off thread . . .

OK straight stew. The meats a bit fatty, so chop it into 1/2" cubes, slow cook it or use a pressure cooker. Than you just basically throw peas, beans, sliced carrots, and onions at it. Back in the pot to keep on cooking slowly, while you sort out the roast tatties and parsnips. Come to think on it, you might prefer mashed spuds, but whatever turns you on.

 

We are a bit off thread here but I'm drooling down me chin!
