[QUOTE="J Hoy, post: 1686479, member: 16398"] What you also and most importantly want to check is the effects of the herbicides you use on your livestock, especially the fetuses and the newborns. Pesticides are what cause newborn grazing animals, such as bovines, sheep, goats, equines and camelids to have underdeveloped jaws, either the upper facial bones, especially the premaxillary bone on ruminants, resulting in an underbite or underdeveloped lower jaw forward of the premolars resulting in an overbite. I have observed photos of several calves that have an obvious underbite on this website, so livestock owners should be more careful of what chemicals they use on their pastures and hay. Any herbicide that disrupts normal fetal development in livestock is concerning because it can do the same or similar to developing human fetuses. Most livestock owners with children do not want that to happen which makes the best reason to be very careful of what is used. Speaking of children, your child might like to be able to see Monarch butterflies when they are old enough. Monarch butterflies are almost gone because nearly all of the milkweed their caterpillars need to eat has been killed by herbicides. Hopefully, those who have some milkweed can leave a couple of patches of milkweed on your land for the Monarchs, so they don't go completely extinct. Thank you for your consideration for newborns and butterflies. [/QUOTE]
