FieldsofThyme	Posted - Jun 03 2011 : 08:45:16 AM One of our dairy goats got loose last night and ate some of my parsley. Will it cause him any harm? Farmgirl #800 http://pioneerwomanatheart.blogspot.com/ http://scrapreusedandrecycledartprojects.blogspot.com/

FieldsofThyme	Posted - Jun 03 2011 : 4:34:14 PM Grace, that is great to know. I may grow extra for treats. Thank you so much. Farmgirl #800 http://pioneerwomanatheart.blogspot.com/ http://scrapreusedandrecycledartprojects.blogspot.com/
grace gerber	Posted - Jun 03 2011 : 4:33:18 PM Parsley is good for them - great mineral and ensymes that they should have. Goat are selective eaters and would do best with just what they could find in a feild or forest.. Grain really is where they get into trouble. Pine needles, thistles, dandelions, rose hips and such are very vital to their health. P{arsley is great for their brain and blood so he went for just what he needed.

kristin sherrill	Posted - Jun 03 2011 : 3:10:33 PM Mine are very picky eaters. They will NOT eat everything. In fact, there are some things they won't touch. And most of the time they know what to stay away from. But sometimes they get carried away and eat something they shouldn't and they get very sick. And in some cases, die. But parsley is fine for them. Too bad for you though! Kris Happiness is simple.
FieldsofThyme	Posted - Jun 03 2011 : 12:06:51 PM thanks, he seems fine today, but I have a little less parsley now LOL! Farmgirl #800 http://pioneerwomanatheart.blogspot.com/ http://scrapreusedandrecycledartprojects.blogspot.com/
karla	Posted - Jun 03 2011 : 10:00:59 AM No actually they can't & won't. They are the pickiest eaters I have ever seen! They will pick through there food & actually spit out what they don't like! They are browsers which mean they like trees & leaves & such. Therefore the paper label on the cans usually attracts them! I had a doe that didn't like the oats in her grain mix & would literally pick it out & spit it to the side! It was humorous!

traildancer	Posted - Jun 03 2011 : 09:30:11 AM I thought goats could eat anything! Pictures in old children's books always show the goat with a tin can hanging out of it's mouth. The trail is the thing.... Louis L'Amour
karla	Posted - Jun 03 2011 : 09:27:59 AM Parlsey should be ok.
