Farmers say Xmas trees make great goat snacks

W

estern Colorado goat farmers say Christmas trees make great snacks for their herds, and they'€™re offering to collect them from homes in the Grand Valley.

Nevelle Hopper of the Lil Moo Ranch said Friday the trees are a natural de-wormer for goats, and pine needles have vitamin C.

She says the goats enjoy eating them, too.

Hopper'€™s Lil Moo Ranch, the Top of the Hill Ranch and 5-R Ranch want undecorated trees that haven'€™t been sprayed with any chemical.

Hopper says the ranches will arrange to pick up trees or accept drop-offs.
