Pasha, can you wrap those poles in wire fencing to keep the goats from chewing?

It's too late to do it, and besides, I'm afraid they'll ruin their teeth. Therefore, I decided to change these wooden poles for iron ones.
I just have to do some welding to install the feeding shelf.
This is quite safe - in the summer I will pull out all the bedding, I will drive the goats out for a walk, and I will work myself. The floor here is reinforced concrete, and the walls are made of foam blocks that do not burn. You can safely carry out welding work.
I will leave the fence wooden, they do not torment it much.
What is bad about a tree is that from the litter it dampens below, and becomes soft. Even if I protect it from goat teeth, it will still rot. Therefore, I will change these poles for iron ones. They will last longer.

Actually, some goats are super fussy. Mine refused carrots and apples at first!

Mine love to eat pumpkin and zucchini. I grow a lot of pumpkins for the winter, and then I cut them into small pieces and the goats willingly eat them, because in winter there is almost no other food besides hay and barley. They also eat needles and bark from trees.
I didn’t try to give them carrots and apples, somehow I didn’t guess. Although when the goats went to the garden in the fall and found carrots in the ground, they gnawed it. And it was clearly goats, not mice or rats.
Maybe it also depends on the breed. The Russian breed of goats (it is easy to distinguish, female goats also have a beard, like male goats) is quite omnivorous, the only thing they did not eat was thuja.
