That farm is covered up with cocklebur. I used to think that regular bush hogging would get rid of it but I'm going to have to spray it.Bright Raven":1owkgafk said:You got cocklebur? Shame on you. I hate that weed. Would you believe, I have about won the war.
She will get another chance. She and another heifer calved at virtually the exact time and they both claimed the same calf. Luckily I was around when they calved and could identify who belonged to whom.Workinonit Farm":39dk8m7u said:By the looks of him, it was worth the trouble. Are you keeping her? If so, I hope next time around isn't a repeat of bad behavior & idiotic baby. ;-)

Truth. I've seen plants about 3" tall with burs. Over the last 12 years that farm has slowly progressed from little to no cockleburs to a real problem. I'm looking into different sprayer set ups now. I really like the mister/sprayer that JTrent posted pics of in the grasses/hay forum. May pull the trigger on ones of those. I just hate fooling with chemicals..Bright Raven":3p03crbd said:Lazy M":3p03crbd said:That farm is covered up with cocklebur.

You definitely have to spray. I found that out. It is the one weed that mowing does not seem to take a toll on.

' I've seen plants about 3" tall with burs '
I've seen them come up after the first frost and make burrs before another frost, they were about 3" tall with a small burr or two on top.
