The Interesting Behavior of a Goat

[MrsWildside]

The Ohia tree; wonderful for snacking and for scratching!
Or posing!

It's been raining for a couple of days now, so my girls really appreciate the warm break! Probably should've posted this in a journal forum, oh well... Can do that later!

Just thought I'd share this silly moment!

As you can see, they REALLY like bark! They WILL kill the trees by girdling them (stripping the bark off all the way around). So if you have trees you wish to keep alive, you really need to put strong fences around them to keep the goats away from the trunks. They do look exceptionally happy there at the moment

Thankfully, Ohia trees are quite durable! however, I appreciate the advice and will fence in the trees I do want to keep if this tree that they are munching on now happens to fall, I plan on making a play area from the wood!
