"There's an abundance of Christmas trees so we want to give people an opportunity to keep them out of the landfill," Let's Goat Buffalo Owner Jennifer Zeitler said. "The goats love them because they are engaging, they're fresh green. It's packed with nutrients and vitamins for the goats."

  • No decorations including tinsel, ornaments and lights
