Goats are reputed to be willing to eat almost anything and they may sample many things, but goats prefer to browse on the tips of woody shrubs, trees, and leafy plants. Stripping leaves off of branches and shrubs is their favorite thing to do. Goats will also eat dry leaves, shoots, weeds, grasses, and apples.
Goats need the minerals that tree bark contains, and it's possible that if they are really starved for variety in their diet or for minerals, they might eat the bark anyway, especially after the tea wears off a little. We like to cut willow and alder saplings and branches and feed them almost every day to the goats. did read once that you can mix a mixture of goat berries, smash them down, add a bit of water and then paint the tree with it to deter them from eating the bark. Haven't tried it myself. -- Bernice (geminigoats@yahoo.com), February 19, 2001.
