Cressleaf groundsel, or butterweed, and it a concern for livestock producers

Cressleaf Groundsel is in full flower currently in forage and unplanted fields across the state.  While this is not a new weed, prevalence has been increasing causing concern for many livestock producers. 

Cressleaf Groundsel is toxic to both cattle and horses.  Cattle are 30-40 times more susceptible to poisoning than sheep or goats.  Calves and younger cattle are more susceptible than older cattle, but it can be fatal at high enough doses to all age groups.
