Mostly plants such as grass, alfalfa, and bushes, as well as tree buds and bark when they can get it. They eat a very wide variety of plants, and usually know which ones are poisonous to them. They have different diets according to where they live and what food is available. Goats will also try about anything, including your clothes, soccer balls, string, and many other things, without actually eating them (sometimes goats DO eat stuff like that: for example, my goat tore off a small piece of my foam sandal and actually ate it).

Oddly enough, though goats will try just about anything, they are one of the most discriminating diners in the animal kingdom, and will be very picky if they have the choice. And no, they don't actually eat tin cans.
