you asked about the effects of estrogenic pasture on cattle, you have

no evidence that there is such an effect


I asked you as one farmer whether you have noticed anything.


Zearalenone is a mycotoxin produced by the fungus Fusarium. To my knowledge
this mycotoxin is not produced in red clover. The fungus is a cereal
pathogen and consequently zearalenone is found in wheat, barley and corn.

Have you ever had cows on red clover to any extent? Then have you noticed
any affect on them? Or the estrogenic mycotoxin zearallenone? Don't some
farmers use it as a steroid to increase growth of animals? I think I
posted how it reduces fertility.
