* we've done two things: 1) bound together several sparse-branched  
Cedars (Thuja) from dense thickets, or 2) cut an invasive Scots Pine.  
Either can be fed to the Goats afterwards, since they love dried  
Conifer foliage. As with everything, the goal should be to accomplish  
at least two good ends with every action, and these get three ends:  
sylviculture/invasives removal, celebration, and feeding livestock.

* no problem,

"[The] two fundamental steps of scientific thought - the conjecture  
and refutation of Popper - have little place in the usual conception  
of intelligence. If something is to be dismissed as inadequate, it is  
surely not Darwin [, whose] works manifest the activity of a mind  
seeking for wisdom, a value which conventional philosophy has largely  
abandoned." Ghiselen, 1969. Triumph of the Darwinian Method, p 237.
