The goat should know that it shouldn't bother eating other foilage
that would make it sick, unhealthy.

The farmer tries it's best to train the goat, and never gets
appreciation for what it puts in (and it should), what can the farmer
do? Only what it can for the damn goat.

Interesting. Here we have poison oak, which the goats eat with impunity

you just have to wait until it's out of the goats' system.

You are right that any animal is trainable, and people do train their goats;
but training their eating habits away seems much more difficult than penning
them and having attractive food within the pen.

One time we had a goat who got loose from the tree where we had it
tied up too. It ended up eating some poison ivy (or some other
poisonous shrub) and never did again eat any more foilage. Moral of
the story, goats can be trained, even by themselves.
