I posted this over in the Barnyard thread, too. I thought I might get help here, too.

I have 3 old apple trees in my yard and I like to let the goats out to eat the new grass that's coming up now. But they like to nibble on the bark of the apple trees and I'm afraid they will do damage to them.

Does anyone know of a safe spray for the trees and the goats taht I could use to deter them? Any suggestions would be great! Thanks.

Can't you wrap some chicken wire around the trees? i have no idea, just a suggestion, I know it helps with dogs digging. LOL!

Hey Kelly. You know, after I posted this I thought of that. I have some but that stuff is wicked, I always come away with bloody arms. I will wear long sleeves and gloves.

Thanks. And hows the house coming along? Are ya'll in yet? Did you get your goat kids yet?

I think my neighbor up the road was wanting to sell a few of hers. They own the feed store in Flintstone. I'll check and see if she still is.

There's always something to have to wait on, isn't there? Hopefully the'll be done and in soon.
