Redbud when it is leafed out is their favorite. Lucky for this tribe of goats, we have plenty of it around here. Did you know a herd of goats is called a tribe or a trip? My goats are a trip! Goats are browsers and go from one scrub to another. We have plenty for them to choose from. They like grass but prefer scrub oak, poision oak, manzanita, toyon and buckbrush just to name a few. The only problem is that most are not leafed out in the winter so unless we feed some grass hay they start to strip the bark off a lot of things eventually killing the plant. NOT good especially on our propagated trees that we need for shade around here. Another lesson I’ve learned while becoming a country woman using goats to manage this land.
