Believe me, they are, judging by the way my goats grab at them given half a chance. Never harmed them either.

We used to have strawberry plants in the garden untill the kids got in  ::)  hoping as the roots are still there they may shoot away again next year
Definatly did them no harm at all

The only harm likely to come to goats if they eat strawberry plants is when the owner catches them.  :roflanim: :roflanim:
