Are cows likely to go rasta on the plants or will they stick to grass and eat around them?

Would the best way to make sure that they don't get at them through electric fence?

Ive seen cows munch down on trim that people had given them, they seemed to like it alot. Just put a wide circumference fence around your crop, wide enough so a cows neck and head won't reach your girls.

i seem to remember that weed use to grow wild and the cattle would eat it. it was called "loco weed". sometimes in old cowboy movies they make mention of it. my cat loves the new leaves, so now she is bammed from the room.

Wow, what an old thread, but I cannot find any information on here or on google about guerilla growing or growing period on a cattle farm. I found a huge cattle farm out scouting this year and decided to give it a shot. The place is a gold mine, covered in thickets and brush scattered about the pastures. I noticed the cattle have trails through some of these thickets they use and seen some fresh manure from time to time on my journey.

The farmer has no helping hands and does not tend to the actual land much at all. Scoped it out and he doesn't do much but feed the cattle and cut and haul hay.

Yes I am aware that i am trespassing but this is guerilla growing, in the appalachia at that. I just want to if anyone has any experience whatsoever growing on cattle farms, ranches or around cows period. I figure if I could plant it off there trails then they wouldn't bother it. If they won't, I may have just found a dream!

Basically find a super thick area of bush or scrub. Thick Lantana or blackberry bushes will keep the cattle out. Simply crawl into the middle of a patch and clear a nice area while still maintaining a barrier of bush and thorns between the plants and the cattle. Make sure the entrance you use is discrete and small enough that the cattle can't enter. Making a barrier from dead tree branches works well and doesn't look out of place. Don't use a thicket riddled with cattle trails only super dense bush they can't push their way into. Good luck.

they seem to be opportunistic and eat whatever is in their path. I regularly feed my meat/breeding rabbits my trim. they get a five gallon bucket at a time. When fresh they eat it up quick but if I give them dry material they pass over it. Their breathing slows and they are more loving I notice.
I marinate them while alive so I need to stop grass/mj a day or two before harvesting, or else they taste like pissy grass venison and marijuana, similar to a wild one would taste without the mj . I feed apples/carrots/basil at the end of their life for a tasty feast right out of the freezer. I do the same with my tilapia before I dress them they go into a 55 gallon drum and feed on herbs like lemon grass and chives over night.

Bunnies love thickets and they love pot leaves too. We had a rabbit here a few years back that didn't like me much until I fed him his first fan leaf. After that we were best buddies and as soon as I walked into the shop he'd start jumping around the cage whether I had a leaf in my hand or not. :)

Yes, cows will eat weed. Find you some old rusty wire and fence off a section in a thicket. Good luck.

and look out for the bull.
