THE INDUSTRY SPECIALISTS
Youlden Valley produces Standard Boers, Colour Boers, Dorpers and White Dorpers. In 2014 Youlden Valley started in partnership with Thomas Youlden, Valley Boers. Valley Boers had been producing top end boer goats since 2004. This venture enabled the partnership to produce stud and commercial goats of different colours, genetic lines and to expand into another meat livestock such as the Dorpers and White Dorpers.
Valley Boers recognised earlier on the dangers of producing overweight high maintenance animals that deviated from best practice farming principles (i.e. productivity, sustainability and profitability).
This approach not only benefits our customers but also the various key stakeholders throughout the industry. We believe that over the next 20 years there will be a greater emphasis towards adherence to best farming principles, where the balance between stud quality and resilience will be highly valued.
There is opportunity for entrepreneurs with the initiative to see the long term potential of the goat industry within Australia. The industry is still working on having consistency in supply and consistency in the final meat product, but as these issues are resolved we predict that the industry will significantly grow. It’s time to focus on more markets than just overseas export. We don’t see the Australian market as unimportant because it’s only 5% market share, we see that other 95% potential for domestic growth.
NATIONAL RECORDS
In October 2021 Youlden Valley “Brock” and Youlden Valley “Goliath” were the first red and black goats to both be sold for $12,000.
Prior to these results Youlden Valley had set a precedent in September 2020 by selling a red buck Youlden Valley “Cobber” for $5000 in Allora Queensland.
This was the start of colour animals attracting serious revenue and overall strengthening the sale of goats within Australia.
