[QUOTE="NorCalFarms, post: 269108, member: 2465"] Yes, read the label. And you will notice on the label that Roundup (in a spot spray application like yours >10% of total area in pasture) has a zero pre harvest interval. This means you can spray while cattle are grazing. Do I think it is a good thing, no, but in won't hurt them unless they were literally drinking the stuff. Even so I would try and keep them away from that spot for even a few hours, maybe throw a few bales of hay on the other side of the field. Roundup has a very short half life, so any that is not taken up into the plant dissipates quickly. Also like RAB said, it is most effective if you spray at least 24 (preferable 48-72) hours before mowing as roundup is only absorbed through the leaves. As far as other products go, Roundup or any glyphosate is about as safe and environmentaly friendly as you can get. There are really no other common herbicides that are as safe for the person doing the application, ground or surface water, and animals. [/QUOTE]
