Wendy, I grow both cows and irises.  I've never known a cow to eat a
rhizome, but they have been known to pull them up and take a chomp or two
off the foliage.  I've never heard from elsewhere they were harmful, but
perhaps that's because cattle really don't seem to like them much.  Where
did you learn this?  I would like to know.  Maybe it's time to move that
forty year clump in the barnlot to a new location.  What you don't know
doesn't hurt, but I do get superstititious when I learn something.  Thanks.
