What Kind of Berries Are These?

[Zapthycat]

Inspecting my homestead, I have some massive patches of these berries. Not really sure what they are.

Relevant info:
-These have grown wild since summer, it is now January so I don't know if that makes them look shriveled or what.
-Location: Ozarks (SW Missouri)
-I don't know why they look clumped in some of those, but some of the berries in the upper-left corner appear clearer. Darn flash...

At first I thought they might be raspberries, but upon closer inspection, I really don't have any clue whatsoever...

Thanks!!!

That looks like buck brush, also called coral berry and Indian currant.
Kinda hard to tell from that pic with no leaves.

LOL. That's a terrible picture. Its really hard to see what anything there looks like.

Do the red berries or the clusters of berries look anything like this? This is bunchberry, a type of low growing dogwood that grows from 6 inches to about 24 inches tall on long slender stalks.

Yep. Indian currant. If u try and dig up one plant, you'll find that they are connected, and spread, by runners under the ground. My goats eat them, but I cant say as Ive ever given them a try...

Coralberry here. The goats eat them only if they do not find something they like better.

Thanks everyone for the help. Regardless of what they are, I think they have to go. Better berries need to be planted here

If you're going to get rid of them, and they're "runner" type bushes, cut them low and pour "Tordon" on the stump. It'll take a few weeks, but the poison is systemic and will kill out any runners that haven't come up yet, plus any plants you might have missed. Might wait till spring to do it, so the juices are flowing throughout the whole system.

Zapthycat, the native americans use the vines to weave baskets with and then sell for hundreds of dollars!
