goats eat trees

including Christmas trees - I blogged about it last year, but now have visual proof! First go th needles and then goes the bark, strip by strip... They do seem to like certain pine species better than others looking at the assorted half dozen we gave them, but not sure what makes which better or worse. Except one that was really dried up - dropped needles by the bucket load - they never really touched it... I shouldn't have either, my husband's Honda civic trunk is still full of needles.

I pick threes up around new years from the side of the road BUT if you do make sure the trees don't have artificial snow, tinsel, spray glitter or other plastic, glue, weird stuff in them.

By the way, this is why the trees out in our pasture (one pine and a handful of junipers) have seven foot tall chain link fencing wrapped around the trunks! They'd strip'm bare...
