Walnut OK or bad?

[freedomfrom4]

A storm took out part of a walnut tree. I need to go cut it down but didn't want to kill the goats. So can I feed it to them?

I checked the link

Fias Co Farm: Goats- Edible & Poisonous for Goats

and can't find it. We also have chinese chesnut trees.

I was wondering if they were bad cause they both have the nut in the middle kinda like a cherry pit.

Mine eat walnut without a problem.

They love it.

perfectly fine, its not like cherry that will kill a goat, its actually used as a natural wormer by some due to the bitter tannins in it, but yes its perfectly good for goats,

I wouldn't be able to raise goats if walnuts were poisonous. I have like a thousand trees on my property, by far the most numerous of any tree here. Mine stay away from the bark for some reason but will eat the leaves when they get a chance.
The biggest danger on my farm would be when they fall from the trees when ripe and hit like a golf ball. On a tin shed the nuts sound like bullets.
