[QUOTE="lms0229, post: 1428331, member: 28722"] I would look at adding a multi-species approach as some animals like certain plants over others. And spraying for weeds (herbicides) seems to be counterproductive to your intentions. If you allow your animals to fully graze then your weeds should be pushed out by your native grasses. Every year the weeds will become less and less. Either pull the unwanted weeds by hand or get a torch made for spot burning weeds, allow for multi-species grazing, don't allow for the animals to be selective of their forage by increasing your animal density and rotating often but allowing optimally 6 months between (meaning after pasture 1 was grazed wait 6 months before reintroducing the animals back on there), and you may want to spread seed to snuff out any additional weeds.
