Cattle were introduced in the early 1800s to Hawaii and I think people have been looking for ways to feed them ever since.

I haven't seen that new ruminant publication. Is it on CTAHR site? I will go look! <br /><br />NancyDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565369052850975336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-61813912222324228482012-12-05T07:20:42.289-10:002012-12-05T07:20:42.289-10:00Beyond cool!

I'm hoping to get some pigeon pea/haole koa windrows started in the pasture for browse but with so many other projects who knows when i'll get to it. Have you seen the new small ruminant publication?

We are talking about re-working our field and replanting so we can get better grass for hay. Right now the tussock (sp?) grass is taking over. But I often wondered, what did they do back in the pioneer days? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
