Ok I found in the book where it talks about tree bark..Under Pasture and Shrub on page 16:

Goats thrive on mixed pasture that contains what are commonly known as weeds as well as grasses, legumes, blackberry, thistles, docks and different kinds of herbs and shrubs. The minerals in all of these are higher than those found in grass alone. Goats that receive the right amount of copper in their diet will not ring bark trees even if they eat the folliage off of some of them when they are young. Trees like Oak, Ash and many other Northern Hemosphere trees make good natural browsing for trees.

I was talking about the part that says that goats that receive the right amount of copper in their diet will not ring bark trees..I am assuming this means eat the barks off of the trees no?
