Roundup Weed Killer and Sheep Fodder

I had no idea.

In Australia when a forage crop is close to maturity, producers apply a dilute application of Roundup to "freeze" the crop to retain protein quality.  They then turn the sheep in to graze.  Once the crop is harvested, the animals are moved to a different pasture, and the crop grows back.  Gary says the Roundup makes the plants "sick," but does not kill them.
