And most of the weeds I’m really eager to get out of my pasture are very invasive and/or toxic to most livestock. I don’t want to kill my mowers (though most toxic weeds aren’t very palatable) or get them to spread the weeds by scattering the seeds in their poop or pruning them to encourage fresh growth. Even for the stuff that’s not toxic, you can’t exactly instruct them on what to eat and what to leave.

Good luck
