[QUOTE="Hasbeen, post: 406993, member: 3220"] Had some logging done recently and I'm still in the process of clearing treetops and repairing fence that separates my pastures from the mountain. Since the drought here has destroyed my pastures, the cows have decided that they prefer foraging up on the mountain to eating hay. Although a lot of people around here do it, I've never been a big fan of turning them loose up there but it is fenced and they seem to be doing well. There have been cattle up there in years past and I've not heard of it doing any harm. It's not grass, just the typical browse on a heavily wooded mountain plus the wheat I sowed on the logging roads. Anyone have any experience with this? If it works out it increases my feeding area from 20 acres up to 180. Doesn't seem to be anything poisionous up there although I'm sure it's not as nutricious as grass and is of course much cooler and seems to be fewer flies. [/QUOTE]
