goats and catnip

[cayenne47]

is it poisonous to them? Lil boy got into the cats stash, its old and dried up, i think he just licked a little but hes staring like hes high lol.

Its a mint. Nothing special to goats other than being just another browse whether dried and old or fresh and growing.
Lower nutrition in dried and old though.

I doubt that he's high. :baby04: It only has that effect on felines. Catnip is a soporific for humans - drink a couple of cups of catnip tea, and you'll be nodding off in no time!

I was hanging out with the goats last fall and one of mine was rubbing and rolling on some catnip plants - most likely because they have scritchy seedpods.

My goat loves catnip. She eats it like crazy. As weird as she is I don't think it makes her any weirder. I wonder if it aids goats in digestion like a little will sooth a human?
