Which animals will eat oak brush?

I have 1-2 feet oak and southern magnolia seedlings covering 1/8 acre. Will goats eat this and the roots too? Please say yes, or anything that will. It's all under a huge evergreen live oak tree.

goats will eat oak! they love it! of course they will also eat the bark.

As to the Southern Magnolia I don't know anything about it.

If you didn't want them to eat those magnolia's, they'd eat them for sure. LOL I suspect they will because they ate cedars, greenbriars, poisin ivy, elm, grapevines (wild), etc. I don't recall any kind of woody growth that they left behind. They don't eat out the roots, just the green tips, leaves and bark...kills the plant and it falls over in a couple of years, or you can knock them over.

I just found this forum...how did I miss it before?
