[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7680144, member: 818"] To be fair I do often wonder if the danger from ragwort is over blown. The amount of silage that gets made with ragwort in it must be fairly significant, as early cuts are taken well before the flowering stage, so spotting it to pull is nigh on impossible. I've seen many grass fields that have obviously been silaged showing signs of ragwort regrowth, so the first cut must have had some in it. If ragwort was as toxic to livestock as is commonly thought one would expect far more cases of poisoning than there are. [/QUOTE]
