Can goats eat holly?

Someone ran over our holly tree (bush?) last night. The thing is probably 30 feet tall. Well it was. Now it is broken off and laying on the ground. Can the goats eat it or is it one of the plants that is poison to goats? It would make lots of good eating for them if they can have it. Thanks, Dian

This is what I found.

It is on the poisonous list that Fiasco Farm has, so I would not try it.
