Does anyone have experience grazing cattle on land with Western Water Hemlock? Due to the drought in Alberta we are very short on pasture and we have a piece of land that we just fenced off and are planning to use but it's full of Hemlock. In school they said that as long as you pick what you can and don't over graze it should be fine but I'm still nervous to put my cows on this pasture, however with the lack of feed in our area I don't have much choice. I've been picking all that I can and I'll continue to do so. Other than the Hemlock this is the best pasture that my cows will have seen all summer- I'm 5'7 and the Reed Canary Grass is between knee and shoulder height on me. Comments from anyone familar with the poisonous weed would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
