Australia: Goat production hits record highs
In the three months to 30 September 2025, 993,034 adult goats were processed in Australia. A further 23,763 kids were processed in the same period, taking the total for Q3 2025 to more than one million.
This is the largest quarterly volume ever recorded, passing the previous high set in the March 2025 quarter. That quarter was the only other time processed goat numbers had gone above one million.
The higher throughput also lifted goatmeat production. In Q3 2025, output reached 16,225 tonnes.
Year-to-date, production has passed 42,000 tonnes of goatmeat, setting another record.
