The ram was getting all of it he could and even today showed no ill effects. <br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-37060003141464086872016-05-12T14:19:30.143-04:002016-05-12T14:19:30.143-04:00Sheep can eat Leafy Spurge and are used for weed c...Sheep can eat Leafy Spurge and are used for weed control, humn I had no sheep when I dealt with Buttercup....Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-8977489539705312992016-05-12T11:49:17.153-04:002016-05-12T11:49:17.153-04:00Happy to see that crossroads paddock has been used...Happy to see that crossroads paddock has been used twice now. 😄Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188650874375595590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-76963789930340408902016-05-12T10:16:05.129-04:002016-05-12T10:16:05.129-04:00Our goats sheep and alpacas eat buttercups will no...Our goats sheep and alpacas eat buttercups will no ill effects, just as well as there is plenty around here, wish I could have the animals in the veg garden as I am digging out loads, the fields when we moved here were infested with it but now after two years of grazing its reducing Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-74823414911934972342016-05-12T07:22:45.382-04:002016-05-12T07:22:45.382-04:00I've read that goats can eat it in moderation ...I've read that goats can eat it in moderation too, don't suppose they'd do well on an exclusively buttercup diet but mixed with the other junk they eat they may be just as tolerant as he sheepTricky Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08755505701123051720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-56236049700439515302016-05-11T21:51:43.840-04:002016-05-11T21:51:43.840-04:00Sf - Well apparently there are a few different var...Sf - Well apparently there are a few different varieties that vary in toxicity. I don't know the ram is certainly not starving, in fact he is fat and rarely eats all his hay but I know he doesn't get enough new green growth which is something I hope to remedy when I get the fencing done.
