      Never found thistles to be much of a problem in a properly managed perennial pasture situation. Click image for larger version Name: thistle control.jpg Views: 1 Size: 99.2 KB ID: 764975
      Smart cattle recognize thistles for what they are - another valuable with a feed value roughly the same as alfalfa. Yearling bulls moved off this pasture this morning.

            The sheep love thistles and stinging nettles too.

              Yeah? I've never had sheep eat anything other than the flower buds and that was a rarity. Nettles yes, both cows and sheep as they are such a nutritional powerhouse.
