It is a common misconception that goats can eat anything and everything. They do not have the stomach that they are perceived to have. In many cases goats are bought to help clean up unwanted weeds and grass, but it is important to remember that there are plants that are toxic to goats and may even be deadly. Before purchasing goats be sure to check your flower beds and surrounding areas for toxic plants where the goats may be grazing. If you think your goat has ingested a toxic plant please contact us as soon as possible. Some symptoms to look for are vomiting and lethargy. The size of the goat and the type and amount of toxic plant ingested can yield different prognoses.

We have provided a list below of plants to keep away from our goat friends.
