Found baneberry on our property just recently. Been here for eight years and have never seen it anywhere near our property and this was growing just outside the perimeter fence next to the goat yard. To top it off when my milk goat got out recently she ate some of it. Thankfully she was fine and I dumped her milk for a few days to be safe. #milkgoats #lifewithgoats #crazygoatlady #baneberry #toxicplants #farmlife #alaska
