Oak does not top well, but if they are Maple, or another tree that can be topped instead of removed that may be an option. Personally ... if you intend to make use of the trees, I would cut them. The view is worth it aaaaaaand ... more trees will grow up surprisinly fast if you decide you'd rather have the trees to look at.

They look like they have been damaged by that crazy ice storm we had a couple of years ago, and will never recover to their original beauty and health anyway. I also love tres and beautiful Fall views, go for it. NOTE: West Central Beekeepers Association meets at the West Fork Community building near Arnoldsburg this coming Sunday, Oct. 26 at 2:30. We also meet on alternate months at the Roane County Library. If you would like to be notified, EM me and let me know. I send out prior notice each month. Beekeeping is a very interesting and much needed hobby or business. You can learn a lot about bees, pollination, trees and flowers. You are invited. Sounds like you would have the perfect location for such a hobby, and you could have your own homegrown honey supply in a couple of years for all those wonderful home baked pies.

They aren't providing shade or shelter for the goats or chickens though, are they? If they are, then I would think hard about it first, and may lean to no. I voted yes, cut them down.
