Bush ID, safe for goats?

I am going to trim three bushes and want to feed the trimmings to my goats- they only have pasture, no browse

Are they safe? I only know one is a magnolia.

Here is one

And here is the other, this one has tiny thorns all over

Sorry for using two posts, I still can't get more than one pic to post at a time; I will only post the last one I chose

The only one I would feed is the juniper. Not the red tipped whatever.

I believe the last one is a Barberry bush also. I'd look that up before giving any of it to my goats. Usually when I trim my bushes & ornamentals I just throw them away but we are lucky enough to have lots of woods for browse for the goats.
