Tomatoes?

[robertwhite]

A few of my cows love tomatoes and when I find cracked or over ripe tomatoes in the garden, I chuck them over the fence for them.

But the other day when pulling the actual tomato plants out for the season, I thought.......Can cattle eat tomato plants? (this way I know for the future)

I haven't found one yet that liked the plant.

Tomatos are in the nightshade family, I don;t think I'ld be feeding the vines to anything but the compost pile.

Thanks guys. Glad I thought of it after I put them in the compost pile.

There are a few buyers at our local auction that are grazing cattle on the tomato fields. Not sure the exact stuff there doing but there feeding a lot of cattle on the tomato fields. We always threw our plants in the cattle pastures.

I always throw mine in the pasture but the cattle never bother to eat them.
