[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5192768, member: 63856"] Yep that's the stuff. Like a dandelion that was commissioned by a gov't department! I remember sitting on the lav one day and trying to work out what the dickens that sound was, the few pet lambs we had on the dairy farm had broken out of the foot-deep ryegrass pasture and were loudly chomping the milk thistles that grew out in the wasteland behind our new house. Strange animals, they completely stuffed a line of leyland cyprus and were always busting to get out and into my fine selection of weeds (house had only been built two years prior and no lawn sown out the back) but it was always the sow thistles that got levelled before anything else got a glance. Then it was nettles, those red dead nettles, and then a funny little weedy thing I don't know the name of - it has a deep purple flower and grows in old lawns etc, looks like a mini hops almost... But I have always been an observer of animal behaviour, and ryegrass is at the bottom of their list. It always struck me as odd that it was at the top of the farmer's list!! Have you noticed all the comments lately that long grass has "no nutritional value"? What a load of crap!! I don't think anyone has actually had the balls or inclination to test this one out, higher fibre and lower digestibility perhaps... So if it has no value, why do people bale it up? [/QUOTE]
