[QUOTE="novatech, post: 693782, member: 5494"] Thanks for posting the article. Weeds are about all my cattle have been surviving on in the drought we are having. In the spring the cattle eat tender bloodweed (giant ragweed) like it's candy. Mowing keeps the weeds shooting up new growth which seems to make them more palatable. When the clover is at it's best the cattle will occasionally eat leaves. I always thought they may be after the tannin which aids in preventing bloat. Never did like mono cultures very much. Cattle need a little diversity in there forage to keep them healthy. [/QUOTE]
