[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 380559, member: 637"] I have noticed the cattle coughing when grazing around the buttercup. At first I thought it was a respiratory problem, then I realized they did it when they had their noses down in the flowers. I keep them beat down, but they grow faster than anything I have seen before. Last year when I mowed them, I thought I was getting the flu. I coughed, sneezed, eyes watered so bad, and felt lousy. At first I blamed it on the windy conditions and the exhaust of the tractor blowing back in my face. It cleared up in a day or so. Then when I went back to mowing again, it showed back up. Any other time I am on the tractor, the exhaust has never bothered me. When you read about the buttercup, it says it is very irritating to the cattle. I see them rubbing their noses real hard against objects and snorting to clear it out and coughing. A few of the little calves after grazing a bit, start breathing hard. It must affect them too. If they feel as bad as I did, then it is not good. It makes me think about the weight gain. Bama, when you get through over there, could you come over here? This year I will just have to keep it down till it goes dormant. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
