When my anniversary roses started to wilt, I decided to save them for this goat. It lives in the front yard of a home a few miles from our house.
I read last year that goats love roses and they can even eat the thorns without trouble. I took several bags of rose clippings to a herd of goats last summer.
When I drove to the home with the goat, there were 4 vehicles in the driveway with a ring doorbell but no one answered.
The goat was so happy to see me and followed me along the fence line. I wanted to ask permission to feed their goat but...I went ahead and gave it just a couple of the roses and leaves.
Then I left. The goat enjoyed my company. Maybe I will try to visit it again another time.
Ahhh he could smell those roses! It would be nice of the owner to put a sign up that says “you are welcome to feed the goat, he likes….” Then they could list his favorite foods. Rural folks here seem to have a donkey or two in their yard.
