@silvopasturist Several years ago I got a complaint that some the heifers I was developing had too many flies and I joked with my wife that tomorrow I'd take my rifle and he could point out which ones needed to be treated.

A good friend once informed me that my colleagues in DC were playing checkers, not chess.
My late wife Rhonda, who had met these politicians on several occasions, corrected him,
“they’re chewing on the checkers and arguing about which tastes better… red or black.”

@PatrickHeizer What am I missing? Cows eat it and it grows back fast. If you're trying to keep it out of a garden I get it, but that's nothing a hoe and a little sweat equity won't fix.
