The Good Goat

Vendor Biography

Located in the Great Southern of Western Australia The Good Goat is passionate about supplying quality, affordable fresh goat meat all year round. Farming for the love of their goats and dedication to their customers, their goats are fed their own oaten hay in the summer months and happily graze on a variety of natural green pastures in the winter months.

The Venn family have been farming in the Great Southern region of WA for over two decades. Primarily farming Merino sheep and cattle. Four years ago Anthony decided to buy a couple hundred goats to trial and they haven’t looked back.

Their breeding flock has grown exponentially, allowing them to offer premium fresh goat meat all year round.  The farm is 100% family operated which means the Venn family have full control over if, when and how their goats are handled – which is minimal as goats are quite self-sufficient and need very little intervention from humans. This leaves the goats free to graze happily on the wide open paddocks.

“They are fed our own oaten hay in the summer months and graze on natural grasses in the winter months. They also do a great job of keeping weeds down. The nutritional benefits of goats surpass that of lamb and beef with almost double the iron content and less saturated fat. Goats are mild in taste and when cooked slowly and delicately, the flavour and tenderness is unique and mouthwatering. We love and respect all our animals and goats require little intervention, leaving them happy and stress free which reflects in the delicate meat.”
