What veg can I safely feed my goats?

I have had an answer saying that potatoes are safe but I have been specifically told elsewhere that they are poisonous to goats. I'd like to treat them to carrots or tomatoes or something extra as a treat in the evenings but want to be sure that what I give them is safe.

    haha i have a goat who eats paper, tin foil, chocolate, gloves, anything else that happens to be within reach for 10 seconds. I treat her with cabbage, marmite sandwiches, apples, carrots and left over sunday roast veg (inc roast potatoes and gravy) and it never did her any harm (she's now 18). However if in doubt or if she's used for milking etc then I'd steer clear of potatoes. Better safe than sorry :)

    My goat ate the fence we kept him in. Goats are tough little critters.
