Is there a herbicide i can have co-op spray on the pasture for ragweed and thistles while the cattle are still on the pasture and not hurt them and won't kill the clover.
Thanks,

I guess no one knows of any.Is there a herbicide i can have co-op spray on the pasture for ragweed and thistles while the cattle are still on the pasture and not hurt them and won't kill the clover.

You would have to talk to your co-op. Yes, there are herbicides that will do what you want, but there are tons of variables. Timing is crucial for certain weeds, and regulations vary from state to state. Personally, I would just go with normal 2,4D Ester. It's labeled to kill clover, but I've never seen that actually happen. 2,4DB is designed for broadleaf weeds but safe for legumes, but it's way more expensive. For me, the cost isn't worth it.I guess no one knows of any.
There's no such thing as Canadian thistle@joebuck, where exactly are you in Southern Indiana? Victor Shelton in the town of Washington would be of considerable assistance to you. My guess is that you have annual ragweed problems, which will be corrected to a large extent by thickening up pastures. That will be a problem right now I'm guessing based on how dry it was there last fall/late summer. I don't know your thistle concerns. Canadian thistle? A pre-emergent herbicide should help the ragweed and not hurt the existing clover. The thistle is another matter if it's Canadian thistle.
Haha. I meant no offense @Silver. I'll have to look up the scientific name or 'proper' name. Plants/weeds/trees have multiple common names. One of the most 'multi-named' species I know of is Liquidambar styraciflua, better known as sweet gum, red gum, star gum, blue gum, gum, liquidambar, American storax, hazel pine, bilsted, redgum, satin-walnut, star-leaved gum, alligatorwood, gumball tree, American gum, American sweetgum, and probably a few that I left out. In fairness, what should we call Cirsium arvense? (Yes, I looked it up) Creeping thistle, Field Thistle, Swamp Thistle, just 'thistle'? Unfortunately the scientific names are now starting to suffer/are suffering/have suffered from sort of the same fate common names do with the advent of DNA testing as the scientific names that aren't supposed to change are now being changed. 'Creeping thistle' has suffered this fate as well as it was named Carduus muticus and then Cirsium muticum.There's no such thing as Canadian thistle![]()
It's not nearly that complicated, and no reason for offense. It's Canada thistle. Much like there is no such thing a Canadian goose, rather they are a Canada goose or Canada geese.Haha.

But if a Canada goose came from Canada then it's a Canadian Canada goose.It's not nearly that complicated, and no reason for offense. It's Canada thistle. Much like there is no such thing a Canadian goose, rather they are a Canada goose or Canada geese.
That's a very good point!But if a Canada goose came from Canada then it's a Canadian Canada goose.![]()
