[QUOTE="TexFarmer, post: 1597218, member: 28147"] Today I mowed one of my pastures with a lot of toxic horsenettle/silverleaf nightshade that popped up during this drought we're having here in Texas. The weed is toxic to cattle even once it's dried (an animal can be poisoned by eating 0.1 to 0.3 percent of its weight). My cows don't touch it when it's growing in the pasture but I'm concerned with it chopped up and drying in the sun it might increase the palpability and my cows might munch on it. Are my concerns legitimate and if so, how long should I keep my cows off the pasture after today's mowing?
