Tree hay and using trees for livestock fodder has been a centuries old practice that it seems many of us have forgotten today, but has so many practical and wonderful benefits for your goats and livestock.

In this video we will deep dive into:

🌳Mulberry Trees: Discover why mulberry leaves are a powerhouse of protein and how goats absolutely love them.

🍑 Persimmon Trees: Learn about the sweet, energy-rich fruit that drops right when your goats need it most, helping them gain condition.

🌸 Dogwood Trees: Find out how this common native tree provides valuable browse and nutritional support for your herd throughout the season.
