Favorite treats
What are your goats' favorite treats? Ours loooove pine branches -- sometimes we throw entire tree branches in for them, and the does, at least, eat them all up!

Cushaw Squash - they got into the patch for a little time every day and chowed down happily.

Banana peels. Crisp fall tree leaves, they're like potato chips. And best treat for getting down meds: thick buttermilk or peanutbutter.

Willow branches or mulberry branches rate #1 for sure. For the winter we bag maple leaves at my moms. Most like dollar general gingersnaps. Some like bananas, apples, and oranges.

Donuts. I only use them when I need them to do something they REALLY hate (like take medicine) but they're pretty crazy for them. Just plain cake ones.

Found out today that mine also like green beans that got too "woody" for the table.
