Heidi, I'm no scientist but I sure am in agreement with those sentiments.
Somehow I think those weeds are either trying to tell us something, or that 
perhaps they are bringing up nutrients, minerals etc. that can pave way for 
lush pastures etc.

OTH I'm concerned that they may outcompete the very grasses/legumes etc. I'm 
trying to encourage in a Rotational Grazing System.
