"Lucerne" is also Safeway's house brand for dairy, apparently because dairy cows eat the stuff.

Yes fresh cut lucerne bales are used for horses, however is also great for dairy cows if eaten straight from the plant (before harvestig).

After 2 years of being baled - the lucerne hay can be fed to sheep, horses, cattle, pigs anything. Only horses can eat a little bit of fresh cut bales however because of it high fat and protein factor, they can bloat.

Emu's by the road

Wild animals around here include Kangaroos, Wild Pigs, Emus, Porcipines,Deer, Foxes and Rabbits.

This photo was taken on 3rd April. on my way to work i saw them and pulled over whipping out the camera before they ran away, so sorry for the lame focus and the cropping.

I think it's awesome that you got pictures of them at all. I'm guessing it must be like us (Americans) trying to photograph deer before they realize you're interested in what they are doing.

Emu's In mississippi. Not to distract from the land downunder. Someone came up w/get rich deal a few years back about raising them. Think some sold for around 10 grand each. Some w/in 20 miles of me, will get a photo, maybe soon.
BTW I have friends who pipelined downunder. The storys they can tell about what they found in ditch each am. One told me they found a K? bear once & the guy who caught him had a leather jacket on & was ripped to pieces. Someone said turn it loose. He said hell I turned it loose 5 minutes ago. Oh well

Ha ha - yeah unless Koalas are hand reared from birth they are VERY dangerous. I mean - their claws have to sink into hard tree trunks to pull them up, and also lodge in their when they are sleeping so they are very long and very sharp!!
