[QUOTE="baleflipper, post: 919159, member: 16896"] I live in central Texas. I run cows in the Lockhart area. Wild mustard is incredible this year.I cant speak for others but the wild mustard in my fields came up with my fall planted wheat. If I had known then what it was going to do I would have sprayed it with 2/4 D back in Sept. I now am mowing 5 foot tall thick wild mustard. I never had heard it was toxic to cows. I have had some wild mustard for several years and the cows ate it in the early stages of growth. That was why I did not spray it. You can bet I will spray it from now on! It not only is in the fields but it is in the creek bottoms and Mesquite pastures. Nothing can grow under it because it blocks the sunlight. I am mowing any thing I can get to with the tractor. I have noticed that where the burr clover was thick there is no mustard. Running in low gear pulling a 15 foot mower. Have to blow radiator out at lunch every day and when I quit in evenings. Stuff is a mess. Bale Flipper [/QUOTE]
