[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1794106, member: 32659"] I do agree 100% that animals will help control brush and bushes in pasture land. I also agree that trees and shade are important so when we were clearing we left allot of trees. The honey locust we took down were anywhere from 3' tall an 2" in diameter to 25' tall and 8" in diameter. Honey locust are invasive and thorny. Everyone said I'd never get them to stop coming back but by rotating the cattle through, mowing every few yrs, and spraying we've kept them at bay. A cow might rub down a bush but they can't rub down a tree. We also stayed a good ways off the creeks that run through the place. This provides extra shade, less erosion, and keeps the wild life around. We try to be what they used to call good stewards of the land 😉 I doubt a 1,000 hd stampede woul hurt a 10 yr old boisdarc tree 😆 [/QUOTE]
