Tina Tuckerman checks on her 24 goats after bringing them a Christmas tree to eat at her One Chicken At A Time Farm in South Woodstock, Vt., on Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2021. Tuckerman said more than 100 discarded trees have been donated to the farm as feed in past years, but she has cut back on the number of evergreens she feeds out of concern for possible toxic effects during their pregnancies. The trees “are full of vitamins C and D,” which is beneficial in the winter months, said Tuckerman. The trees can also affect the taste of the animals’ milk. (Valley News - James M.
