[Jacob-list] lovegrass

[Linda]

Has anyone ever tried weeping lovegrass for pasture? I read up and 
decided it might work on a steep area we have. It does grow well, but 
the sheep won't eat it. If I lock the donkey in the barn and cut it for 
her she will eat it. I was hoping that she would develop a taste for it, 
but no luck. Once she has other options, she won't touch it. Sheep won't 
eat more than one bite even if locked up with no other option.My dog 
will eat it. I bought the seed at a farm store and it is supposed to for 
forage.
Sheep do love the drought resistant Bermudas that I've planted on the 
same slope.
