Ok I hope I am not misusing this privilage but I need this plant identified so I can find out if it is poisonous to my goats or not. I have looked all over the internet but can't seem to find it.

If it is ok I am posting a link to my photobucket picture of it.

If you can at least tell me what family you think it is in that would be REALLY helpful. I think my goat ate it and I need to know if she will be sick my it.

Please help me!

welcome to the forum!!

You know, i think i had the same thing growing in my yard today. It looked to me like some type of weed. I hope it's not poisonous,for the sake of your goats, and becuase i touched it to pull it out!!!
Well, u'll know exactly what it is withen a very short while!
There's just so many people here who know their plants!
Good luck!

Stacey, welcome to the forum and I hope you aren't worrying yourself unneccessarily.

Both of your pix appear to be Pokeweed, Phytolaccaceae Americana. You can read this information and then do an additional search if you don't get the answers you need...

You might call your Vet and they can tell you if Pokeweed is harmful to your goats. This website may also help you...

You know that is exactly it! You guys are wonderful!!!! Now I need to check my poisonous plant list to see if it is poisonous. So far so good on the goat. Just in case you wanted to see her here she is, her name is Mia (Mi-ah)

She really liked that leaf!

Forgot to thank you for the link to the site for the poisonous plant list. Yes pokeweed is poisonous to all animals but the toxidity is low the site says.........so I think Mia (and my 3 other goats) is safe. :-)

Your goats are TOO CUTE!!!!

I love goats...period!!! They have so much personality, it's unbelievable. That's a really cute picture...I hope you'll post more. If I lived outside the city limits, I would definitely have two or three pygmies.

I'm glad you were able to use those links.

That goat is sooooooooo cute...
*you have no idea how fast I'd get a couple of
them if I didn't live "in town" and can't have them..

I hope you post lot's and lot's on your goats..
We'd love to hear more on them..
*down in the Critter Corner*

Sure if it is anything that I love to talk about it is my goats :-)

I have 4 as I stated bfore

Destiny who is 3
Aspen who is 8 months
Mia who is 2 months
Rocky (destiny's kid) who is 4 weeks. I will look for that spot to post pictures of them.

and if you liked Mia you will LOVE Rocky!!!

I love goats, they don't take anything too seriously, lol! Adorable goaties you have!
