Momma says, "Marketing is the devil!". :moon: The theory of ruminant dietary selection and intake is perhaps explained best by Keetlars and Tolcamp in a 1993 article...the gist is that ruminants select certain plants and self regulate intake with the overall goal of longevity....the faster the...

This is a year old durana plot in a hardwood bottom....we overseeded with SGs and radish then fertilized. Very minor grazing through November. The clover was over ankle high and you could track anything which walked across it. Then came the first really cold spell during first week of...

Sent in the participant form to Noble, got a confirmation letter this week, and they should make initial contact after the holidays. They are big on specifying broad goals: A) quality of life - we want to provide sustainable wildlife and grazing enterprises for current and future generations, B)...

Persimmon poisioning can occur when ruminants consume fresh new shoots growing off a cut stump....when these shoots are less than 6" tall is the critical poisonous stage. My cousin lost a few heifers to this a few years ago. Haven't noticed deer or cattle browsing the leaves. Dunno the specific...

Thanks LC...found that on his 'specie oak' page after posting the question. Sent him an email yesterday asking about what info he would need to help us select the right varieties and here is his reply "Yes go ahead and send that map if it’s not too much trouble. That might help a lot. If you...

Birds of a feather....don't mind being a nerd myself! :) Yeah, I looked through that link earlier and it is taking some time to digest the info. Will continue to browse through it. Which is his dwarf chinkapin variety? One prioity of ours is to 'reap the fruits of thy labor' so those...

The wildlife biologist didn't think that live oak would do well in our area (too far from central TX)....he wasn't sure about dwarf chinkapin (some chinkapin NE of us). From what info I've gathered so far, burr oak is a suggested planting....how long before they produce mast? Here is a...

On the right track Made a call to the Noble foundation to ask a few questions about improving cross-timbers native habitat. The receptionist took my number and we chatted a bit about becoming a 'cooperator' with Noble. Cutting to the chase, the wildlife biologist I talked with told me that...

Are supplies of your other acorns depleted and they are left with the red oaks? That is really wierd they are scooping them up...has to be the soil. Used to hunt alot in the Ozark highlands, acorns of the northern or southern red oaks were the last to be eaten and least preferred. Then in SEOK...

What is the approximate white oak density per acre be in these pics? About how many would be culled? Just trying to get a 'vision' in my mind of what the proper density should look like!

Right on! Thanks for the added pics and discussion, much clearer now. We (Lil Blonde) and I bowhunted a top area this weekend and deer activity was amazing....my rifle stand is 150 yds to the west and one would have missed most of the activity we saw. As we sat there I began to contemplate...

Do young falcata seedlings say under 3" tall have a reddish color to the stem? Just want to identify things correctly in our small test areas. Oct was horribly wet for us....11" of rain vs 3-4" normally....first time I've seen statewide soil moisture indices above 0.9!

Just wanted to say threads on this site have been very informative and helped us a bunch...you guys have this down to an art...thanks for your time and efforts! Have been musing through this bedding thread as we are simply wanting to increase security and sustainability of current bedding...
