[QUOTE="dun, post: 93177, member: 34"] Here's one of those yes/no/maybe deals. A lot depends on the number of cows and the type of soil, type and number of trees. We have trees, all oaks, some of which have been killed by cows loafing under them, others that it doesn;t bother. The dead trees have the soil so compacted under them that it's hard as concrete and the water just runs off and isn't absorbed, that's in heavy clay. Other trees that are in a more gravelly or loamy soils aren't bothered with compaction. When this place was a dairy and they ran high numbers of cows alwasy in the same pastures the soil was compacted badly. I haven;t found a method to losen the soil that won't destroy the grasses that are growing or damage the roots of the trees. If you hang a feeder under any tree it will be over the root area of that tree. We hang the minerla feeders from trees but keep the salt at the water points. What I'm trying to say is that different circumstances/conditions can cause different results. dun [/QUOTE]
