I know there is a post about this a few lines down but I don't have alfalfa and I didn't want to hijack that thread. I am about to lease some land in central Texas that has been used for cattle in the past and some wheat production but didn't have any or very few head on it the last few months. With all the rain the rye and volunteer wheat and oats are nice and thick but about a month ago the mustard jumped and when it did it jumped big time! Like 95%+ of this entire place is covered in this crap and it is 3-5' tall everywhere. I would like for someone to tell me how they have dealt with this mess and how it turned out for them. We have plans to shred it when the lease starts on May 1st but right now but the real concern I have is this stuff continuing to come up and what it will do to any cows I put on the place. I have read all kinds of literature about it being toxic to cattle so I am just looking for some real world experience here on what others have done to deal with this stuff and if I need to avoid this place altogether if it is going to be a nightmare to deal with or hazardous to any cattle I put out there.
Thanks
