Stinging Nettle??

 Can anyone tell me if this is Stinging Nettles (albeit in late growth).  I had to pull our three plant/herb books, but my Flora of West Virginia seems to indicate that it is.  I would love for some conformation though.  The first four pictures were taken this morning.  The four below, a couple of weeks ago.


 These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago.



I'd love to have my own little patch to harvest in the spring.  Perhaps I could transplant them out of the pasture?  I've been dying to try nettles ever since I read Laura's post Eat Your Wild Greens: The Delectable Nettle over a year ago.  This girl sure knows here plants and writes a lovely blog.
