Cattle Repellents for Planted Pines

Browsing cattle seriously damage newly planted pines in many parts of the South. Stock often congregate on open areas, the very ones in greatest need of planting. They nip off seedlings during the dormant season, when other green vegetation is scarce. Browsing of the needles generally is not very harmful, but often the bud or stem is eaten, and then the seedlings die or are deformed.
