[QUOTE="Cowman42, post: 1822232, member: 43380"] Up here in Michigan those fresh shoots from the stumps make excellent cow fodder. I unroll or set out a couple round bales and watch the cows ignore and feast on oak, maple, ash and hickory leaves. I try to cut out the black cherry first. Anyplace that the bales were will grow good grass in a year or 2....Lather, rinse, repeat. I have turned about 30 acres of floodplain and upland hardwoods forest into silvo pasture this way. Folks will tell you that certain leaves are poisonous to cattle. Some are. But cherry is the only one here to worry about and unless they are starving they won't eat it anyhow. It tastes bad.
