The cattle are in the forests but they don’t eat Chamese or Manzanita. There are hundreds of head of cattle around our place but all they eat is grass, which is sparse in the heavy timber and brush.
I’ve never seen a cow that wouldn’t eat chamise, it is great winter feed. People even harvest the seeds in the right of ways and take it to Colorado to plant it. They don’t consume it completely but they keep it in check.
