[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 5374056, member: 70166"] Ive said it before either here or on another thread i took on 50 acres of very rough grazing this spring that had a lot of overgrown willow hedges in it. I turned my ewe lambs that werent rearing because they hadnt taken the ram there and they just grazed the grass. I picked out the ewe lambs that had lost lambs and generally had a hard time bei g heavily pregnant in the snow then rearing or trying to rear lambs in the crappy weather that followed and some of them looked pretty miserable and poor. They went to the rough groijd and the first thing they did was eat all the willow they could reach but they havent touched any of the other trees. They all ate dandelions on the way up there on the side of the roads too but none ate any grass. I was thinking if they were self medicating on things that they needed either mineral wise or the asprin ingredient (salicilic acid?) That is in the willow. They look great now. [/QUOTE]
