Livestock pasture

Post Body

Hi all, I'm in zone 6b. I have a small yard, steep flower bed with small retaining wall, and at the top is the edge of our livestock pasture.

The prior owner loved multi-flora rose, which is beautiful, but must die!! We also have barberry and honeysuckle taking over this hillside. We've tried our best to combat it by trimming, and so far my best luck has been using daylilies to help outcompete it.

We now have fun power toys that we're able to rip out the bushes and roots with. I need some help choosing what to replace it with.

I can't have anything toxic to livestock (cows, goats, horses, chickens) and need a decent border of short growing plants (or ones that can stand frequent trimming) to keep our electric fence from grounding out.

Our pasture is a mix of mostly clovers, kentucky bluegrass, and ryegrass.

I know livestock and no lawn is pretty contradictory, but I was hoping someone might have experience with trying to border fields nicely!
