Are goats everywhere? The handful of places I've lived (Central Florida and SF bay area) I've never seen a "wild" goat. Deer, sure. But deer seem to be much pickier than goats when it comes to their diets

- toast0 5y agoGoats and Deer are picky eaters, if they've got a buffet they eat what they like and avoid what they don't like. Goats eating trash is usually a mix of curiosity/exploring with their mouth, the glues are often tasty, and some people are jerks and don't feed their goats/hungry goats will find calories.

- toast0 5y agoYeah, that works cause goats like blackberry (the whole plant). I didn't think they liked scotch broom (mine won't eat it), but the rent a goat services carefully size the fencing so the goats don't have so much available that they can be really picky.
