Feral goats and pigs

Feral goats and pigs can cause serious damage to pasture, crops, fences, and native vegetation. They also spread weeds, cause erosion, and pose biosecurity risks. Controlling their numbers is essential to protecting your land and the environment. 

If you see feral goats or pigs on your property you can: 

• Get involved in our control program.  Register your interest here. 

• Report sightings – use FeralScan to help track and manage populations. 

• Work with neighbours to eradicate feral goats – coordinated efforts are the most effective way to reduce goat numbers. 

• Prevent population growth – avoid keeping, moving, or releasing feral goats. 

By taking action, you help reduce grazing pressure and protect your land. 

This program is being delivered in partnership with neighbouring landscape boards and PIRSA (Department of Primary Industries and Regions South Australia), and is partly funded by the Landscape Priority Fund, through the ‘Now or never - controlling feral deer and goats’ project.
