Good grazing/ browse foliage, I think. I've had a customer say to dump a doug-fir into the goat pasture, and leave it. He's limb it and let the goats eat up. Little limbs, not logs.
The left over branches can be piled around trees to help keep livestock from eating/ hoofing up the bark on the trunk and roots, and compacting the root zone. My neighbor had several trees die from cows eating the doug-fir bark when they were hungry. Another neighbor told me that they wanted to keep a good sized cedar. The goats had girdled at least 70%. They were surprised when I mentioned that the tree is thrashed. The goats have completely girdled their shade trees in their pens. Not going to be very shady.
