Cool So tell me about tick clover?
I have some this year but didn't notice it last year? The issue is the cows will not eat it. it stand 18 inch tall with a flower and they won't even look at?

Have never heard of it SteveO, a picture would be nice. Sometimes we call plants differant names from differant parts of the country, and someplaces don`t have certain plants. > Thanks Marc

We refer to that plant as beggar lice.
I have found that if the beneficial forage is lush that the beggar lice/tick clover doe not compete aggressively and is seldom a problem. Just an observation, beggar lice seems to like acid soil here.
