Question About Lead Training

[Sanhestar]

Goats are browsers so while grass might fill their stomach, it won't satisfy their desire (and physical NEED) for coarse plant material. I've often seen this in my goats when out on pasture. If the pasture is "grass-heavy" they will eat and chew cud and have filled stomachs. But their gaze wanders to the other side of the fence to the brush and nettles, thistles and weeds. And as soon as the gate opens, they rush not for the fresh grass but for the next bush and/or patch of weeds.
