neil cooney 10,416 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 You probably get asked this a lot,can you/does anyone take them with lurchers/any other type of dog? There used to be a farmer here in County Meath who had a reasonable sized herd of feral Goats on his land and now and again someone would ask him for a Goat. They'd either want it for keeping the weeds down around the place or a lot of dairy men back then used to keep a Goat with the cows to keep noxious weeds down. This farmer had several Collies and he'd take you out with 2 of them and you'd pick out your Goat and he'd use the Collies to separate it and actually catch it and hold it. It was worth seeing. IMO running them with lurchers on most ground they tend to live on would only result in a trip to the vets. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,902 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I always found the dog would end up with a smaller goat when at times I preferred a larger specimen for dog food,he probably took the 1st one he crossed paths with,and theat would usually be the slower smaller goats and Neil is right,the terrain can be a problem where the goats live the gun is always more efficient and better yielding youdwant a few dogs to do this many i can tell ye 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
