The farm
Gwydir Goats is a premier, export-focused breeder dedicated to the advancement of Red and Black Boer goat genetics. Situated in the heart of New South Wales' North West Plains, our operation combines traditional land stewardship with rigorous, modern biosecurity standards. Our goats are bred for resilience, structural integrity and sound growth rates. By prioritising an open-herd model and implementing industry-leading health protocols, we ensure our livestock meet the stringent requirements of both domestic demand and international export markets, ensuring they arrive at your property ready to perform.
At Gwydir Goats, we believe high-quality stock is a direct product of the land they graze. The self-mulching black soils of the North West Plains is a perfect medium for a variety of perennial grasses and succulents which is an ideal browsing diet of the Boer Goat. The kids are born in paddocks and not in small yards which ensures that the does have space to raise their kids in a disease free environment which also maximises the does’ opportunity to graze whilst lactating.
We operate as a strictly managed biosecurity zone, this includes the entire boundary fence being a 1.85 metre exclusion fence. This ensures that the health integrity of our herd is never compromised, providing our clients with the peace of mind that their investment is protected from the moment they enquire. All enquiries are handled with professional discretion, and private viewings are available exclusively to verified buyers.
Husbandry & rotation
Kids stay with their mothers until weaning at twelve weeks. The flock moves to fresh country every fortnight, which keeps the worm burden down and means we drench on a test, not a calendar. Every animal that leaves the property carries a BGBAA registration certificate and a line in the herd book - we can tell you which paddock it was born in, which doe raised it and which buck sired it. Gwydir Goats provides lifetime traceability with the NLIS tag and VID tag being linked to the registration number. Gwydir Goats only uses the highest quality two piece tags to ensure the durability of the tag over the lifetime of your purchase.
