Hey y'all, me again, with something really confusing.

Do goats normally drop their little pellet turds all bunched up in the shape and size of a dog turd?

I you need pictures, I can post, but I'd rather do that as a last resort.

If my sheep eat a lot of rich grass, they will poop dog logs. LOL What are your goats eating?
They mostly clean the aisles in our barn, so meadow grass and alfalfa, definitely. They get some loose goat mineral, and often steal horse grain. Other than that, we don't really know, as they are free range and don't run away. They just eat whatever, and usually manage what they need themselves. We give water and mineral, but they just graze other than that and eat hay. The other day, one of them took a bite of a Christmas wreath. Would that do anything?

Sounds like your goats are happily munching on lots of goodies. A Christmas wreath would be on the menu too if it is pine, cedar or another conifer. I wouldn't worry about it.
