ground cherry

Can goats eat this? I have changed my plans for their "home paddock" and this area( right behind the shed they will occupy in bad weather) has lots of ground cherry in it. I know I need to remove the black cherry and that is no problem.

I have seen where they eat all sorts of pines and cedar....how much of this is too much?

Sorry but I plan to ask all my "stupid questions" before I need to start out with one of these.....LOL!!

TIA, bee

Ground cherry leaves are toxic. So are the unripe fruit. I'd pull them before moving the goats into that area.
