Audrey,
  Not only are they not toxic, they are high in protein and minerals.  My goats love them!  After two years which it takes to them to get really established they take off and grow rampant.  Trellis very well, and in fact, I had one climb up into my 15 foot fig tree which grew nearby, which I did not want to happen.  Just prune back some of that rampant growth and feed fresh or dried to your livestock.  



Fay -

Thank you!  That is fabulous to learn!  I’m looking forward to pruning and re-planting them on the pasture panel this fall.

Peace,
Audrey

I’ve been thinking of this when looking at my irascible and persistent hardy kiwis, wondering if I can train them along a cattle panel that we have on one side of a pasture.  Researching to find out if it’s toxic sheep before committing.  I’d rather experiment with the kiwi berries than the hazelnuts we’re trying to establish.
