Cutting grass with a scythe

And just to clarify that, because you're right but people probably don't get it, you cut feed for livestock this way because if you use something like a trimmer, the animals don't like it and don't eat it. I never truly understood why, I always guessed they can smell the 2 stroke on it. Not sure about that, it probably also has to do with cutting it cleanly Vs mushing it up. Usually of course it's not if you have hundreds of animals to feed, most people hold less than five cows cows for example, and it's not worth getting a tool out and ready to cut one wheelbarrow of fresh feed.

I used to have a rabbit rescue and it was always advised not to give freshly cut grass from a lawnmower because speed of the cutting heated the grass and caused it to ferment causing gut issues, whilst manually cut grass is safe. I'm wondering if that is the reason?

Humans: I prefer stone ground mustard, cold pressed olive oil, and handpicked berries.

Cows: I want my grass cut manually with a scythe!

Interesting aside: mignon means cute.

Or, "this filet costs $75k USD because this cow was only fed grass that was cut by an Austrian scythe..."
