Jumpstart on burdock

Since Bob wasn't going to be home for a while after I got home from work I decided to get a jump on clearing the pastures of that god-awful, $%##@!! weed, burdock. Gilly already has a clump in his forelock. Last year I spent hours slathering their manes and tails with detangler getting the burrs out - on crutches, even -- something I don't want to repeat.

The front pasture wasn't terrible, though I did find a bit of milkweed (poison for horses). Same with the west half of the back. Each year it seems to be getting better. After poisoning the east half last summer, that part is much improved. Yet, it will be a never-ending battle.
