[QUOTE="TheLazyM, post: 370336, member: 3117"] Wait a minute. I challenge that assertion. Please if you will read some labels of whats going on and in our cattle as wormers, herbicdes and even pesticides. Farmers every day spray 2-4-d ester, glyphosate n{roundup and generics} pantera, ect ect, treating weeds to fireants to horn flies. We feed our cattle fenbendozal for worms. We spray Carbaryl {seven dust on our trees and what nots to keep them dang beetles off em but i havent found anything yet to keep the cattle from nibbling the leaves. Could grass clippings hurt a horse? Maybe so, but i would be willing to bet its not due to chemicals its proply more of a grass species or amount issue. Everybody knows horses have what appears to be weak stomachs. I've seen them get sick just for changing feed. I feed my grass clipping all summer just because i got this thought in my head "waste not, want not". Its not a matter of me having to, but i want to. I have'nt had the 1st head get sick yet. keithr I wish i knew somebody that was in the lawn busness that i could get the grass from. I've talked to some companies but everyone i talked to compost theirs. It makes sense they charge their clients to bag the grass plus they charge to fertlize their lawn. Yea thats right they pay for someone to take the grass off and then pay to have it spreaded back out. I've tried to talk them into a trade for their grass for my cow manure. I would feed every blade i could get. [/QUOTE]
