[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 1776197, member: 1900"] I can appreciate your comments. Many of these trees are splitting and falling due to the drought, freezes, and high winds. I'm not taking all them down, just thinning them out. Plus, if you look at the photos of them you will see where a cedar canopy exists, there is no grass. Cows don't eat cedars but they love loafing under them for shade and the cedar helps keep bugs away. They also keep the north wind at bay in cold spells and hide the calves from black vultures. So yes, they serve a good purpose, but there is a lot of negatives, too. It is difficult to get under a cedar because the branches are so thick. They drink lots of water, too. [/QUOTE]
