Dune McDonald brought some grass into the. office last week and wanted to know what it was. He said that it was in his horse pasture with some intermediate wheatgrass, but his horses wouldnt eat it.

It seems that there are no two grasses that are equal in palatability ' at the same time, and that when stock start to graze, they grub one into the ground before This means they touch the others. that the more palatable grasses are killed out, and the less palatable are wasted.
