Fall Pastures
With the liberal amounts of
moisture during the past
month we can expect fall
pastures to be really good;
with the normal grass
varieties in this area there is
little danger to permit
animals on the grass pasture

with the legumes such as
clover and alfalfa, livestock
should not be permitted to
eat the forage while frost is
on the plants; this could
cause severe bloating.
