Treats!

Here are some tasty treats my goats really enjoyed and had no problems with:

  • Pretzels! Laverne loved them! I was always munching on them and she would just steal them. I don't really think they were that great for her, but like all sweets, they're fine in moderation.
  • Weeds! They're probably the best treat for them and super helpful. One of mine just loved dandelions and goats will even eat thistles.
  • Sweet feed! This is just molasses, corn, and other grains. They adore this stuff, but molasses is a natural laxative, so I wouldn't recommend too much.
  • Sunflower seeds! Goats don't always love them, but some do. Plus, black oil sunflower seeds help with shiny coats.
  • Cookies! We had a really finicky milker, so we gave her some stale Christmas butter cookies. No sprinkles though.
And that's just several ideas!

P.S. I once had a donut at fair while sitting by my goats in their pen. Laverne was begging for it, so I gave her a little taste. She was such a weirdo! Probably, not the best thing, but oh well.
