[Jacob-list] Tree damage

[gf]

I have found good appetizing food is a big help, tall green grass. (Millet) and Rye. Once all that was gone, the 200lb ram discovered his horns made excellent battering rams ... he hit those cattle panels, full on and they busted open and all the ewes came out with him ... animals go where they want, it just takes a little longer to get to a few places ...

  I have a question for everyone.

  We have a completely fenced front yard, and let the sheep (8 at present) out almost every day to graze on the grass and weeds.  They love it.  However, they are also beginning to gnaw at the trunks of several small trees and shrubs, which I don't want to lose.  Is there anyway to discourage them from nibbling where they don't belong?  

  Thanks!
