[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1840226, member: 12607"] Yep. I suspect MU was referring to hardwood forest, as was I. The farm I grew up on in east-central AL was about half mixed hardwood-southern pine forest. The cows ran everywhere; they kept the understory pretty open, as when Dad & Uncle sold the cows, within a very few years, you could hardly walk through the woods - particularly in the 'swamp' bordering the creek, which became an almost impenetrable thicket of sweetgum and Chinese privet. I was not cognizant of any timber damage at that age - and IDK if they had an adverse effect or not. I suspect they made more money selling timber off the place every 15-20 years than they ever did from that raggedy bunch of cows. [/QUOTE]
