Eating Ivy

We are into the time of year when greenery for the goats is in short supply. However, they do like ivy and there is a reasonable amount of it around. So we have started to feed them a barrow load a day, along with apples, carrots and hay. They seem to be quite happy with this menu.

We always fed a small ration of grain to our dairy goats, with a bit of molasses in it. But then I guess that in your warmer climate, you don't have to do that. Our climate was much too cold for many of the plants that you have mentioned. They got just hay and grain from September to June. Your animals look very healthy.
