Wheat

A couple of my bags of wheat berries have some pantry month larvae in them (got lazy-didn't get them stored in time ) and I was mixing it with the chicken feed but they don't like it. Would it be safe to mix a little with the goat feed? I know that the mix Creamers likes so well has wheat in it and thought it would be safe, but was concerned about the occasional larvae. There is are not a lot, just enough to freak me out. If it were TEOTW I would sift through it and feed it to the family, but since we aren't there quite yet I thought maybe I'd see if the goats could benefit from it.

Won't hurt them.

It is *very* hard for me to admit, but when we were living in Indonesia (south of Viet Nam, north of Australia) I had to sift the weevils out of corn meal that was imported from the U.S. Normally, I'm bug phobic. You do what you have to do.
