Title: Daft question
Post by: Chris H on July 30, 2013, 07:38:35 pm

I have a lot of swede growing, are the tops ok to feed to my Bagots?

I'd be surprised if they were harmful. As with all things with goats though, just a bit at a time, if you change their diet too much you risk gut upset or bloat.

Mine like swede tops but not turnip.
 
But depends which side of the border you are which are called which. ::)
