[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11448"] Yes! Prevention is the best treatment. Any number of farms, ranches I've seen over the past years as well as seen from photos and/or website pics, have a lot of "attractive nuisances" scattered about...a/k/a clutter, stuff not picked up to keep the place neat.

On occasion, I will drive all around the pastures and pick up things that have surfaced, such as bottles, empty cans, or other stuff that has blown in (we have frontage on a US Hwy).
