Christmas trees sought as treat for Colorado goats

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.

Your trash could become a holiday treat for some goats in western Colorado.

The Top of the Hill Ranch in Collbran, about 40 miles east of Grand Junction, is offering to pick up discarded Christmas trees from nearby homes to give their goats some extra roughage during the winter.

Rancher Teresa Fletcher tells KKCO-TV that the goats can devour a tree in less than an hour.

The Little Mooo Ranch in Fruita and the 5-R Livestock Company in Loma also are collecting trees for the goats.

Deer makes appearance at Pa. sporting-goods store

READING, Pa.

Shoppers looking for post-Christmas bargains got a surprise at a southeastern Pennsylvania sporting-goods store after a deer decided to join them.

WFMZ-TV says the deer walked through the front door of a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Reading on Thursday afternoon.

Store manager Brad Meyer says the deer slipped on the floor and a customer tackled it to the ground, preventing any injuries to customers or damage to the store.

The store called the Pennsylvania Game Commission, which arrived and removed the deer.

There’s no word on where the deer was released.
