Hello Dean --- well, thanks to EIEIO I just noticed that you have a website. The very first thumbnail I clicked on was "Brute - our bull". Do my eyes detect a beautiful crop of cockleburrs in his pen? Reminds me of some of the "forage" in my pen. If I can find some city kids that want to buy some porcupine eggs I'll be rich.
I've only looked at a few so far, but I like your pictures. And I bet you've put in a lot of work hours over the last 4 months or so, right?
Also, FWIW, in viewing #15 and #16 it looks like you're got some easy to reach chinaberry trees and re-sprouts. The "book" says they are poisonous to cattle (leaves & berries) but it may be only mildly so, I'm not certain. I can remember as a kid feeding leaves to some of grandpa's cattle after a storm blew down a big tree and it didn't seem to harm them, perhaps because it was relatively small quantity. Then again, maybe those Longhorns of yours wouldn't be affected in any event -- might even thrive on chinaberries, silver leaf nightshade, cactus, mesquite, etc. :) Don't want to stick my nose in your business, but it may not be worth it to take a chance on the chinaberries though, especially if grass gets real scarce.
P.S. -- just realized that the cockleburrs and chinaberries are probably on the neighbors place, and not yours. :oops:
