Next time a new member talks about ripping up the weeds in their pasture and planting grass, we need to point them to this study:

There are actually a lot of weeds that have more nutrients than alfalfa!

I love weeds! We graze or goats in the weediest area of our property - mostly thistles, and they love them! The best part is, they stay green even in the highest drought years =) Thanks for the article!
