Christmas Trees for Goats?

So, this has gotten to be a tricky topic!  We used to take, or even pickup Christmas trees, but, things are changing.

Our first indication that we had a problem came when we picked up a tree and ran out of time to immediately give it to the goats.  It rained shortly after and the tree was on a concrete walkway... To our surprise, the concrete around the tree had turned green!  It had been painted.

Other factors to consider: 
Many Christmas trees have been sprayed with flame retardant, and most trees have sat for at least a few weeks in Christmas tree preservative.  

PROLONG® has been America's most popular Christmas Tree Preservative for decades and is said to be safe around kids and pets, but, that is presuming for contact, not ingestion.  We have not been able to get an ingredient list from the manufacturer. 


So, will FlockWorks take Christmas trees for the goats?


The short answer is no.  Most of the time, not.  

The FlockWorks goats love to eat Christmas trees! If somehow you KNOW that your tree is free of treatments and chemicals, we would love to receive your Christmas trees!

And for that matter, in the winter (nearly) any other green leafy vegetation is a welcomed, bonus  winter time treat!  Bamboo is especially prized!   

For people in the local area (Roxbury, Lurgan, Pleasant Hall, Etc) we may even be willing to prune your evergreens in winter months at no cost to give our goats some special seasonal treats!

This includes bamboo! Looking to get rid of, or thin back bamboo? We can help!  Plan ahead for next year and contact us about seasonal bamboo or select evergreen removal/pruning.
