Thanks guys and gals.......I have wrapped the
trees......as best I can. I have even put my portable corrals around the
biggest trees.....One young horse got the wire off a tree and scratched her legs
up....The hay net sounds like a good new idea, even though they actually have a
lot of shade. Most of my oaks have at least a 6' trunk circum. and at
least a 12' canopy. My pines are all over 20' tall and offer a lot of
shade...
I can't help but think there's some mineral they
need more of when it's that hot????
I will add that they chew with an incredible amount
of aggressiveness, like nothing I have seen in them.....maybe they are just
pissed off because it's hot!
