I looked into this one a little bit! Jimsonweed aka thorny apple is absolutely toxic, but like most toxic plants for cattle they are not tasty and cattle typically ignore them in leu of other alternatives. What's likely happening in your pasture, is because they got a start where the cattle weren't they're now slowly getting trampled down over time with cattle being in there. I had a similar problem with white snakeroot, but it was the opposite. The cows wouldn't touch it and they only propagate in areas where there isn't much competition, so the cattle would ignore the entire area and the weed spread.
Very interesting, my cows would eat the leaves off the thorny apple. Almost seemed to go for it instead of the grass and clover. Same for wild cherry leaves.
It is isn’t it! So milkweed is technically toxic to my cattle and it’s all over in the pastures right? But to actually cause harm they need to consume 2-4% of their body weight in milkweed. Meaning a 1500 pound cow would have to eat 30-45 pounds. I can’t see a cow eating even 5 pounds of something that tastes awful to them much less eating that much in a few days. The white snake root on the other hand is more scary. That can cause milk sickness in people and calves, that I will not let survive anywhere
Please do a video on cud weed. I can’t find anything about it but I have that problem killing my grass
I will see what I can find on it. I'm not sure how helpful I can be with not having experience in it. But I'll try.
A John Cow beats a John Deere for mowing.
Absolutely it does. Cost per acre is much much lower.
Hi get 6 goats weeds are gone...
Or better still hire someone else's goat for 10 days.. simple...
Not as simple when your fence is not goat tight. Plus I'm getting rid of the weeds with the cows I already have. Multi species grazing definitely helps the soil more. However it is hard to implement.
