We are getting a milk cow soon, and have been cutting down trees where our pasture is going to be. We've been told there is stagger weed in this area, and it is deadly if cows eat it. Has anyone ever heard of this plant? If so, what can you tell me about it? Thanks in advance.

The best person to talk to should be your County Ag Agent. They should be familiar with all of the plants in your area which can be harmful to livestock.

Ken, I did what you suggested, and found out everything about it. Now why didn't I think of that? Thanks.
