My sheep love it. I’m planting au grazer when I fence in the back of my property

Good info. It’s hard to control.

It actually is fairly high in protein, sheep and goats do well, cattle will too, just have to grind it and mix it with corn silage.

Kid you not, I worked at a farm supply store a few years ago and the state of PA actually ordered 50 lbs of that to plant on a power line right-of-way

Neighbor is growing some of this. Is it harmful to pets?

[@MyVisualRomance]

If you own goats or sheep, this plant is very good for knocking out internal parasites. They love it.

Is it harmful to pets, dogs and cats?
