I need some opinions on browsing plants.

Think it is just Colorado and Kansas that outlaws it.

This article mentions sericea lespedeza as well as sainfoin, birdsfoot trefoil, dock and chicory (but they don't say which kind of dock, and I haven't gone through their references yet).

I have sheep, but have been interested in this topic too.

I've also been scoping out deer feed plot seeds. I'm finding thing suggested for goat browse is also recommended in deer food plots. Big surprise right

I have read several studies showing worm reduction in ruminants when grazing sericea lespedeza. It is classified a noxious weed by some states. If you can get it, I woudl recommend planting it.

Thanks for all the great ideas. We plan to reseed our pasture this fall and add a few more goat friendly browse options, so this was extremely helpful information!

On a side note. Would it be better to go for perennial seeds or annual?
