There is talk of it eventually being moved to a schedule 4.

Leaf edge, not the underside. Basically, take a leaf blade and drag it across your fingertip kinda like using it like a knife. The leaf edge, but draw the leaf across your fingertip from the tip of the leaf to the base of the leaf, not the base of the leaf to the tip.

Shouldn't be. Anything potentially is possible, especially if it would be a stray plant or two. Bou this, based on the description here, seems to be propagating itself and I definitely would not expect that of bearded wheatgrass in this location.

Many grasses have bearded variations so that is not out of the realm of possibility, and I think it is likely. That said, I'm probably more familiar with fescue than any other grass species and haven't encountered a bearded variation. But also, variations vary by region and I don't have...

Haven't ID'd it yet, but definitely not perennial ryegrass.

Do the cows always have hay available, or do they run out and you have to bring them more?

bored is a possibility. Nothing to be overly concerned with is I suspect they are getting all the nutrition they need, but there might be a lack of volume. If cows are getting enough nutrition but are not keeping their gut full, they will proceed to consume every wood product available within a...

Thanks! I was in a bit of a hurry when I made my post the other day and didn't elaborate. FAMACHA is actually an acronym I think. The course is informative but paying for it isn't really necessary. All that does is entitle you to a certificate. I work with an extension agent on a regular basis...

FOMACHA is the termreference for looking at the eyelids. There is a card with a color 'scale' that matches the eyelid which indicates the level of infestation.

A note about fescue. The endophyte that causes problems if found within the KY-31 variety which is also the variety that grows literally everywhere within the fescue belt and can't effectively eliminated from a pasture or hayfield for an extended period of time. That said, there are varieties of...

If you manange the Bermuda well, you will be able to keep your weed treatments at a minimum. You did indicate you are planting for hay, correct? In order to keep the planting productive, it will require regular maintenance and inputs, period. Reguardless of what is planted, if you want to keep...

Welcome to Cattle today! It would be good to know the kind of grass that you have. With only 1 cow/calf pair and ultimately 6 acres to graze on, you aren't going to have any concerns about overgrazing, not really even if you never rotate your cow. Typically I tell producers to develop a 5...

19. Can you use sunn hemp as an animal feed? Some varieties of sunn hemp produce harmful alkaloids (most highly concentrated in seeds), while others are non-toxic and make excellent forage. 'Tropic Sun' is a standard variety that is safe for animal feed. 'AU Golden' and 'AU Durbin' have high...

You can sell it and buy something better..........until there is nothing better to buy. There is a lot of it, but land is a limited resource and is not renewable. It is 'repairable', if you so choose.

Kamloops........are those Canadian $$?

Sound grazing management is a must and virtually all land, no matter how depleted, can be brought back to some semblance of good to amazing. Increases in depleted organic matter levels in soils are an absolutely incredible buffer. However, if you get the soil to test where it 'should'...

Letting the land sit idle for a time will allow the vegetation to recover somewhat to the potential level that the site can support. But, if components required for plant health and vigor have been removed from the site, recovery is limited by that. Specifically, I'm thinking of nutrients that...

I've seen a few like that.

I rest my case. ;) I also know of an instance where the owner of a 40 head goat herd had a billy that figured out how to jump the fence. (5' tall). The billy proceeded to teach half the herd to also jump and the owner had to get rid of half the herd. Unfortunately the owner missed realizing who...

Your donkeys are trying to tell you something about your hay on your property, the grass plants the hay is coming from, and the soil those plants are in I suspect. I don't know this for a fact, but what I think I'm seeing here is hay ground that is being 'mined' of nutrients that aren't being...
