    cattle and weed killer

    well, when I mean scorched earth, I mean bare as the moon too. Pitiful! Why would someone want to move out to the country and kill all the folage around them? They have one small patch of grass in their back yard that he mows. I did talk to him today and he agreed to not spray anymore. I told...

    cattle and weed killer

    thanks for links... I am looking at this one, http://www.ces.purdue.edu/extmedia/CL/CL-8.pdf and am wondering what the 'no' means... no, as in don't graze, or no as in no restriction?

    cattle and weed killer

    you mean he'd be liable if it drifted onto my property. perhaps I will call the dept of agriculture. in the mean time, I will call my neighbor and kindly ask him to cease his scorched earth policy on my property. thanks all for your input. Yes, I too think the guy is nuts to be so obsessed. I...

    questions for a 2bit operation

    thanks all for input. no way can I bale any of it, too mountainous... great for rattlesnakes and coyote lairs though. lots of granite rocks. parts of it could be sprinkler irrigated, but I am thinking that the cost of running the pump wouldn't be worth it. I found a source today for sudan...

    questions for a 2bit operation

    I have 3 angus mix steers (about 500+ lbs) on 13 1/2 acres (central calif foothills) that grows nice grass about 6 months out of the year. Right now they can't make a dent in it, but I know that will change in late may. Irrigation is not practical, because most of it is mountainous. To keep them...
