[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 632010, member: 8629"] You have to realize that lots of folks trim their lawns 1-2 times a week. The "forage" is far different than a pasture that gets grazed 1-2 times a month, if that. Fiber length is a big concern and nutrition is, too. A lot of lawn fertilizers have weed controllers in there that specifically say on the bag not to feed the treated grass to animals. Can you trust what you are getting? If you are still bent on doing this, take a sample of the "forage" and have it analysed for feed quality. Then send those results to a nutrirtionist that has experience with grazers and get an opinion. Make sure you have an honest conversation with this person about what your intentions are. By the way, the only bird poop my cattle see is from the wild turkeys that stroll through the pasture. :lol2: [/QUOTE]
