[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1510324, member: 12607"] I welcome every sprig of JG that pops up in my pastures. Good warm-season forage, preferred by cows, regrows rapidly - it's the first thing they eat when they hit a fresh paddock. We use almost no N fertilizer, so I have almost no concerns about NO3 toxicity, and only consider prussic acid(HCN) as an issue immediately after a killing frost. If JG were as deadly as some of you folks seem to think... there wouldn't be many live cattle in the Southern US. I sure wouldn't be trying to kill it out of my pastures... cows will graze it out of existence if you let them have continuous, unfettered access to it. We'll never know, and I know I won't change FireSweep's mind... but I remember when she posted last year... I was thinking: that little clump of standing, undamaged JG didn't kill that cow; I've pulled and hand-fed to the old pet cow, more than that from spots around the barn/yard, outside the pasture fence, with no concerns.
