I like this one too.



Yes, every area has plants that should be avoided. Ask around, or talk to your country agent. They can tell you. I have no idea though what natives Cochin has to avoid. Um, you know I know squat about your native flora. Don't know your fauna too well either.

Milk can stack up on you fast. Thats why you should make chedder cheese. Takes 1 gal per lb. You can make cheese with 5 gallons once a week, and gift somebody 6-24 monthes later with aged chedder. Trust me, people love gifts like that. Cheese is like $5 per lb!

I like Bad Romance too! As well as Love Game. I might look into our local plants. It's mostly just dirt in my area most of the year. 5 for a lb of cheese?

Spruce trees.

Pretty much it. Otherwise mostly berries but those grow behind the house. Spruce trees can cause abortions. Which is why Kev should avoid all pine needle trees, if I'm correct. Birch bark is poisonous but everything avoids it. Other then people,burns like gas (which is why its un-edible), They **Can** forage Marty and have fine tasting milk.....

I had no idea birch was poisonous to them!

 

[Marty1876]

We dont have birch here.

Our goats were allowed to forage only in the apple orchard. We had weeds in many places, and some ucky ones. pig weeds taste gross, but goats love them. Ditto stinging nettle, another no no for milk We've got all kinds of crap to avoid, Kansas is a land of plants, with far fewer trees then I'm sure Cochin is used to. Great plains here, grasses and weeds for miles and milkes, with only a couple of trees every 50 acres in wild natural environs around here, and even in the places like the valleys, where trees grow like crazy, we've got sumac and poison ivy everywhere, which i've got to avoid them eating due to allergies.

(sign) If only it were so simple for me. Glad its easier for you though. Trust me, we've got lots of crap to make their milk gross here. We must carefully monitor their grazing.

You have birch? We have paper birch, and here everything avoids it, nothing eats it.

 

[Kevin565]

We have certain areas that have quite a bit of it. Not in my particular area though so I should be fine.

That sucks.

Here we have sticker bushes, fire weed, paper birch, spruce trees (white and black), alder, some other type of tree, we only have 6 trees.

 

[Marty1876]

Oh, I have oak, pine, ceder, apple, pear, peach, prune, redbun, lilac, hackberry, hawthorne, quince, maple, mulberry, rose-of-sharen, purple leaf plum, elm, and a few others on my 2 acres alone. (not all native though)

Lots of trees here, thousands of bushes, dozens and dozens of grasses, no idea how many different forbes (field flowers) and weeds we've got. zillions.

My computer was being a little B, so had to go restart. appears to be all better now.
