And Goat Pastures Ah, with the good comes the bad. Recent rains across much of Texas have been a godsend to farmers and ranchers. But according to a range researcher in San Angelo, those same rains could trigger problems for sheep and goats grazing kleingrass pastures. Darrell Ueckert, with the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station at San Angelo, warned producers that now is a critical time to be on the lookout for problems in sheep and goats grazing the grass.
Summer rains can also stimulate growth of new leaves that can be very toxic.
We haven't had much problem in the past several years due to dry weather, but this year is shaping up to be a bad one.
