A friend just brought me a bag of apples from her own apple tree. The abbles have not been sprayed for inscects. The apples have some spots , looks like a few worms have been working on the apples. Ingeneral the apples look good--just not perfect like from the grocery. Is it OK to let my goats eat the apples?

Since my girls eat them off the ground in their alternate pasture, I figured they are safe and feed them as treats. However, I cut them into small pieces. Capri gets them mixed in her feed at milking time and they all get them at bedtime. Ginger is so funny; she sees the bowl and runs into the crate and turns around waiting for her treat. I stress, *small* pieces; think small child pieces.
My only concern would be choking. If you slice them really thinly, they'd probably be okay. Goats are not accustomed to eating chunky thing.
Personally I'd use the apples for an apple crisp! Just cut off the bad spots.
