Never knew it was buttercup that I have, trying to take over my pasture. No wonder. The animals won't graze it down so it takes over. Thanks for the info!

New family member here. We are beginning our sheep ranching journey in the high plains of Arizona at 5000ft above sea level on 6 acres. We have a few toxic weeds in our pastures. Thanks for this video.

[@cooisbillhanthony7998]

You are one well versed farmer. Thanks for sharing.

[@helenjohnson4593]

Thank you Russ..

[@kathymeley9553]

This was a very informative video. You were very clear about toxicity being about the amount of the toxic plant eaten against the body mass. Good explanation.

Hemp dog sounds like it could be a name of a rapper 😂

Excellent video and 'pasture walk'. Well done - I learned a lot. I have most of these plants in my pasture and have never paid much attention without any issues so far. Sometimes I see a milkweed plant in the windrow when cutting hay, and if I am feeling ambitious I will stop the tractor and toss it aside; but not always. No dead cows yet. I think if I don't force them to eat every stock of hay in the round bale they just pick through it. Can I assume that they would do the same with other toxic weeds that might get in bale?

Our farm is in South-Central Pennsylvania and we have quite a bit of Tall Goldenrod in a pasture we converted from cropland. Is Tall Goldenrod a good forage for sheep and cattle?

[@Roy-BBQn]

Thanks for the info.

I would remove poke weed if I were going to move swine into the area. The roots and fruit are the most toxic parts of the plant. On the other hand, it might make a good survivalist plant. Boiling twice discarding the water in between makes a reasonable cooked spinach substitute that isn't likely to get stolen.

[@trig5454]

Russ, you didn't explain the problem or toxicity issue with Red Maple. Could you please add a brief explanation in the comments section?

[@ryanlong5049]

Do you have any experience with Spotted water hemlock?

[@yoopermann7942]
