Spanish moss

[goat lady]

We live in Central Florida where there is tons of spanish moss hanging from the trees and on the ground. The younger goats seem to like to eat it. So far no harm done. Has anyone heard of it hurting goats? Thanks

I couldn't find anywhere that said spanish moss was bad for goats when I did a quick search. Evidently goats find them quite tasty.

I don't know about the food value but they harbor chiggers and mites and you might have problems with those nasty critters.

Thanks again to you both. I try and lead them away from it the best I can, but sometimes you just can't. Have a great day.
