PEST AND PROFIT
COATS IN NEW SOUTH WALES in some districts of New South Wales goats arc a pest. But in other parts of the State notably the big western areas, where pasture ;s scarce and the running of dairy cattle is imi r icticable, the goat is. very often, the only source of milk supply. Unfortunately, however, the average goat outback is a mongrel, capable of yielding only a pint or two of milk a dav, and with an appetite so insatiable that it. takes a very strong fence to keep the animal within bounds. With its stud of highly-bred milkers giving anything up to two quarts of milk a. day, one of the State Experimental Farms showed some years ago what could be done with well-bred goats. But with the dosing of the farm many goat herds outback are to-day crying for new blood.
