Goat Series: EP 4 - Running a goat depot and managed goat enterprise - with Rob Newton

Goat depots play an integral part in the goat supply chain, providing landholders with an option to offload goats locally, even if they have small numbers. These depots work closely with processors, ensuring a continual supply of goats throughout the year, often within specific weight ranges to fill customer orders. This episode looks at the vital role of goat depots, challenges faced, and insights on industry professionalism. Our host, Kieran Smith, speaks with Rob Newton, a goat depot operator who reflects on his past, shares his daily routine, aspirations and offers advice to newcomers.
