So I'm about to try and clear some crap out at the lease place. There lots n lots of brush.
The stuff that concerned me, is whatever it is that has thorns. Some are thorny bushes with about 1 inch long thorns.
Others look similar to rose bush stems. Lots n lots of sharp straight thorns tho.

If I brush hog this crap, am I gonna create issues for the cows?
Such as them eating some by mistake, mouth issues, hardware type issues?

Anyone done similar?
Or have any advice..

Thanks in advance guys n gals!
 
I was worried about the same thing when we cleared this place we're on now. Had a few limps but nothing that needed attention. My main concern was thorns in the mouth but didn't have any of that. Can't say the same for anything that had tires though.
