He got out of the main pasture (only God knows how or where) and started the dogs barking, the chickens crowing and the mare hollerin'.

Oh no! What a rude interruption at 3 am! Is Burdock like a burr of some sort that gets all tangled in tails?

That it is. I understand that it was the inspiration for velcro. The seed pods have dozens of little hooks that tangle in EVERYTHING! It's rampant here and if you don't get it early, the hair in the tail just keeps rapping around them and by the end of the season, you have a solid mass like a baseball bat. Its a real pain to control since each seedpod has dozens of seeds and there are dozens of pods per plant :(

Did learn a trick though. Cheap furniture polish spray makes them come out easier....that is if you get to it early.
