One of our neighbors sounds like your husband. He grows a TON of corn for people food. Then, at the end of the season, he calls me, I go clear his garden and take the stalks to feed to the cattle. They LOVE the stalks. Plus! I take the stalks and all, so I am getting some good soil to put on my pastures since the cattle won't eat the roots ... gleaning is a GOOD thing!
We know cows get out all of the time <g> Except mine ... well, mine USUALLY never get out ... LOL ... but, those black angus ... they are a different piece of work ... mine are all red, but the red semen, except for Herefords is getting harder and harder to find. Hardly any Red Angus in the books, even ... black cattle just have an attitude <g>
