This is a picture of patches in my "supposed" to be hay field. Will 2-4-d kill most of what is here ? If not what grass friendly herbicide will ?

I am here to gain knowledge and insight though.

It was once a good bermuda/bahia field. The tall weeds I wiped and spot spayed with round up last year and plan to do so till they are gone, or at least controled. Just trying to clean it up a lil better.
If they turn out to be highly nutritious I may leave it alone. I'd like to know what they are though. The one in the second picture is spiney and they won't touch it.
I've seen some of that spiney one around here..almost like a vine and will stick to your pants legs. Have no idea what it is but the cows won't touch it.AL-beef":3rzvhqih said:Thanks for the responses. This isn't currently used for pasture, I plan to roll it for hay.
