Our sheep love snacking on pine needles.

My guys were clearing some woods for a fence line, and removed many small pine trees in the process.

My flock will enjoy the pine boughs during this coming wintery week.

Ours love the Fir trees and have chewed the bark off a bunch of the smaller trees in the upper pen. It worked well so I can pull them out by hand after a couple years of standing dead. Gradually they are thinning the stands of trees for me.

We use our pigs in the similar way.

Didnt know that sheep eat pine needles.😊
