Such was the case when we planted shade tress this last fall. We carefully placed panels around to keep the goats out so they could grow for many years worry free.
That was all well and good considering the adult goats, but we failed to remember the kids and yes the kids will strip the bark off of young trees.
That is bark hanging at the top in the pictures.
Out of the twenty three tress we planted they got into three of them. Don't use this kind of panel if you want to keep things safe from all your goats.
Use the panels with the smaller openings that kids cannot squeeze through.
