Compass Plant (_Silphium laciniatum_), Prairie Dock (_Silphium terebinthinaceum_), Rosinweed (_Silphium integrifolium_), & Cup Plant (_Silphium perfoliatum_) are excellent forages for cattle and are a great addition to any Diverse Native Grassland. Colt Hamilton explores how livestock graze these plants as well as identification tips and other fun facts.

Im in Ohio.
What time of year is best to plant Silphiums? I would like to try establishing some in my pastures that are growing with plenty of grasses now.
Maybe you could also make this on a post on your FB like page. Im already following you there. You have excellent information and videos. Thanks, Neil

We recommend planting Silphiums during the dormant period. Here in Missouri, that's typically from November to February.
