[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16789"] Pigweed is probably rampant throughout Texas and related areas. It grows to about 3 or 4 feet tall and has a slender greenish plume on top which is seedhead. Tenacious root and spreading ground level branches. Medium green color. Oval shaped pointed leaves. Some red coloring on stems. On your browser, search for "Pigweed" or "Careless Weed". Can also search for Texas Toxic Plants. Some cattle will graze on the young tender leaves, sometimes in lieu of grass. Would also seriously avoid any johnsongrass hay (considered a noxious weed by many). Also, careful about Sudan hay. Both can lead to prussic acid poisoning if it has been fresh cut and/or has been cut at wrong time, and/or depending on recent frosts as well as drought conditions, etc. Check with AG Extension Service on this. The soghrum species as such can be problematic from such poisoning as well as readily spread by re-seeding from fallen hay. Texas A&M University has variety of topics online for further info.
