陳守國, 金門引進種羊 改善近親繁殖. 中央社, June 11, 2014
www.cna.com.tw/news/aloc/201406110356-1.aspx

Note:
(a) To be honest, I am unsure about 近親繁殖退化. I am certain mice do not have this issue. Thank god (good for research), they will mate with opposite sex of a family member in the cage, though most likely not in nature.
(b) “滿足縣民喜愛的黑色肉羊品系的需求.” Taiwan has native black goats (referring to the color of fur, not meat), which are considered to have come from mainland China.
(c) 吉安山羊 Jian goat
(d) For 努比亞羊  Nubian goat, see Anglo-Nubian
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Nubian

* Nubia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubia
(e) 家山羊
zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/家山羊
(section 3 品種: 台灣現有
(i) 兩種本地種: 台灣黑山羊 (Taiwan black goat), 台灣褐色山羊(Formosan brown goat)
(ii) 以及六種外來種,其中
乳羊品種為
撒能山羊(Saanen)
阿爾拜因山羊(Alpine)
吐根堡山羊(Toggenburg)
肉羊品種為
波爾山羊(Boer)
吉安山羊(Jian goat):[台灣] 畜產試驗所育成,非外來種,尚未命名通過
乳肉兼用品種
努比亞山羊(Nubian)
)

(f) “金門現有羊隻飼養頭數9100頭,只輸給毛豬,是第二大規模的畜牧業 [’in the county’ rather than Taiwan]。”

The above report is translated into English today, which clarifies the scope.
(g) 金門“業者表示,金門地區牛、羊 [probably 豬, too] 都是採食當地金門酒廠的高梁酒粕,業者只需自付運費一車600元,一車高梁酒粕足夠50頭牛羊吃六天。據了解,金門酒廠日產高粱酒粕 [lees or dregs] 約300公噸,酒粕被廣泛用於畜禽養殖,品質穩定”

That is how it is done.

Phil Mercer, Australia Herds Profits From Feral Goat Meat. BBC, May 20, 2014
www.bbc.com/news/business-27481375

Quote:

“Australia is the world's largest exporter of goat meat,

feral goats in Australia “arrived with the first European settlers

“Australia's goat exports have doubled in the past decade. While much is sold to the United States and Taiwan, there is a growing appetite elsewhere in Asia [including China].

Note:
(a) The English and Catalan surname mercer signifies “a trader, from Old French mercier, Late Latin mercarius (an agent derivative of merx, genitive mercis, ‘merchandise’).”
(b) “In the next compound are larger billies capable of breaking bones or even killing cattle dogs.”

billy (n; probably from the name Billy; First Known Use 1820): "billy goat"
, which in turn is defined as
“a male goat”
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/billy+goat
(c) feral goats “are mustered on larger properties using gyrocopters or planes”

autogyro
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogyro
(also known as gyroplane, gyrocopter, or rotaplane; Invented by the Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva to create an aircraft that could fly safely at slow speeds, the autogyro was first flown on Jan 9, 1923 in Madrid)
(d) “Boer goats, a robust variety brought to Australia from South Africa in the 1980s * * * [photo legend:] The Boer goat, with its distinctive brown head, is one of the most popular types of goat bred for its meat”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boer_goat
(e) “Each has a name: Grace was a champion at a local show, and there are high hopes for Britannia and Japonica.”

Like Grace, Britannia and Japonica are names of two (female) Boer goats.
