The answer--besides everything--is organic. I was shocked to find that the goats shunned conventionally grown produce, even things they love like cabbage and carrot peels. I discovered this because it is between growing seasons at the farm and we are buying more conventionally grown produce at the local grocery store. I thought that maybe my goats were just picky, but when I happened to go to the health food store and stocked up on organic produce they chowed down. Now, don't believe for one moment that if I left the conventionally grown bits out for them they wouldn't eventually eat it. It's just they prefer organic. Don't we all.
