It was a ‘life-saver’ on more than one instance, when severe drought conditions hit – but cows would totally defoliate what they could reach in short order, and you’d have to move ‘em to the creekbottom swamp to pick for what they could find ‘til the kudzu re-leafed. About every 3 years or so, we’d have to get out with a bush-hook and cut all the vines off the 5-strand barbed wire fence on the road frontage and restretch the wire, as the kudzu vines would have pulled even the top strand down almost to ground level. From: nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Kieran &/or Donna Someone from Up North commented that his landlord's cattle would start in on the kudzu when everything else was parched by drought. Sounds like a really good season extender. Donna |
