Most likely bird cherry, the fruit is probably quite sour.

The reason I posted this is because we had a sick pygmy goat (PROjectile vomiting), and can't figure what she got into, except maybe this.

Bird cherry leaves are smooth edged, these are serrated.

Choke cherry

Eta: that's what my mom called them, anyway

Keep them ( leaves, fruit) away from horses.

Looks more like a Pin Cherry.

I once saw some sick ass goats that had gotten into some azalea plants.

Did it have access to any of those?

I can't identify a wild cherry by looks, but I can identify it by the smell.
Break a fresh limb into 2 pieces & smell it. It will be very noticeable.
Cut that s.o.b. down & scatter all traces of it to hell - the danger to
livestock is when they eat the wilted leaves or bark. Once they wilt,
it releases an acid, prussic acid if I recall correctly, that will kill them
because it turns poisonous.

That is a wild black cherry.
I have a couple on my property.  Two very old trees and at least one smaller one.  But I haven't got much off them for several years.  They have not been doing well, and the old trees are too big to pick from.  The smaller one looks to be dying off too.
The cherries will not ever get as big as the bing cherries you bought in a grocery store, but they can be very good.  Not sour at all, if picked at the right time.  They make excellent jelly, or black cherry ice cream with a kitchenaid ice cream maker.

It looks like what in the Northeast and east call t pin cherry I don't think they grow too far south.

That is NOT a Wild Black Cherry. The bark is not even close...

Not a "wild" black cherry.  

Black cherry bark resembles burnt corn flakes (see below).  

That bark is comparatively smooth and looks like some other variety of "tame" cherry.

I always called them choke cherry or pin cherry. Not sure if there is a difference.

I have or had lots of them on the property line of my place and most have died.

Wood is very dense like oak but always seems to have ants.

Yeah, it's a variety of wild black cherry.  I used to skin the trees and sell the bark.

The leaves are noxious to cattle and horses.  Probably make goats sick too.

Excuse me, African American....
Are you assuming its fruit identity?

the bark of small trees like mine and the limbs is different than larger trees:
