[QUOTE="leeave96, post: 1444467, member: 23587"] I've got a field of Timothy mixed grass. Walking it today, there are some patches of foxtail and a few pieces of horse nettle. At what point do you disqualify your hay for cattle consumption due to the presence of foxtail and horse nettle? How much of it is to much? There is some decent grass in is this field, along with some stemmy purple top coming up. It is otherwise weed free. I hate to just bush hog it down. Maybe Goats? Can they tolerate that stuff? What's your limit on buying/feeding bales of hay where there is potential for foxtail and a bit of horse nettle? If anyone has a pic they could post of a field "over-run" with foxtail or a bale of infested hay - I'd like to see it for reference. Thanks! PS - this post is on multiple forums for a broad audience - thx! [/QUOTE]
