While goats will eat just about anything, I think they were referencing their compulsive need to climb everything in their pen.

-- Goats


I lived out in the country and our neighbor down the road got several goats. Every day I would drive past and he would have 3 goats on top of his Subaru outback. He built a new barn to park the car in because he got tired of the dents.


I read something somewhere (the curse of wide reading) that it’s a myth that goats will eat anything which came as a shock to me because as a child in the 70s I learned (from adults or books or cartoons or who knows what?) that a goat would eat a tin can given the opportunity.


Goats nibble everything, but thats just like us feeling things with our hands.

they've only got teeth on the lower jaw in front; they can tear stuff up with their back teeth but they have to get it in their mouths.

They tend to have this thing about strings and string-like things, they start swallowing and do not want to stop. instinct tells them vines must have good stuff just a little further along. loose wires are bad for goats and vice versa


I mean it's free cleaning
