[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 537689, member: 3162"] You have to beat the deer to the dewberries around here. We have a big patch behind a pecan grove that we call "birthing alley". When you don't see a cow that has been springing, and they are in that pasture, you can almost count on her being over in that patch. Probably about 75% of the calves are dropped in that berry patch. Over the next three weeks it will be full of deer and some fawns will be laid up in those vines. Its kind of neat to sneak over there and look for them. They'll be laid up and not moving. The next day berries will be gone and the fawn may be ten feet farther away from where it was yesterday. I had some boysenberries on a trellis at the house. The heifers got to it once and cleaned out the entire years crop, and trampled the vines on the ground that would have beared fruit the following year. Boysenberries grow like crazy here but they are not sweet at all. I don't know why the cows like them. [/QUOTE]
