WOO! Bring out the sterotypes, but here in Idaho my goats can't get enough potato greens! 
They hate the potato itself, but love the stem and leaves!

I would watch feeding the stems of potatoes because they contain solanine as with all members of the Nightshade family.capretta said:WOO! Bring out the sterotypes, but here in Idaho my goats can't get enough potato greens!

Loving the herd life
I live in the Northwest, and mine LOVE pine needles. They seem to prefer my expensive weeping white pine to the Austrian pine! (spicey got in the yard last summer and brought her little twins with her, and they stripped that white pine in about 20 minutes) LOTS of bad words were spoken! HAHAHA! At Christmas time I saved the tree and threw it in their pen, you'd have thought I gave them a gold mine, they had that thing stripped in a couple of days.
I've read that pine needles are a natural dewormer, they don't get it enough for me to really tell if it is! This summer the whole hillside will be fenced and they will have full access to Juniper trees. I have seen them crawl up on the boulders, and stand on tippy toes and hind legs trying to get the branches.
