[QUOTE="wrightwayangus, post: 906062, member: 17459"] As to the type of trees, personally I would plant Maple (regular not Red). While I do have some pines on my property, they don't bother them much and they do provide "cover" and shade, but some folks have problems with the cows eating the pine needles. Certain type of pines can cause 'health' issues, I'm not sure which types. The type we have are benign, some folks call what we have "Bull Pine". We have a couple of Oaks and have no problems, but some folks have health issues with regards to their cows eating too many acorns. Katherine[/quote] Pine needles can cause a cow to lose a calf if she is pregnant. Does anyone know how hardy the Maple trees are? I really like Maple trees, but I don't know how hardy they are. Could they grow successfully in the Northwest? [/QUOTE]
