There is a tool called Lazy Dog that is great for ragwort. Pulled loads with one of them.

Get a rag fork for digging out ragwort, saves a sore back and you get more root out and wear gloves.

Great videos we have had cows with the same issue over the years our vet says johns worth or something like that along the ditches. In our cows seem to be the ones who have white on them our cows are limousin coming from Simmental. Keeping them in for week or10 days does the trick along with anti inflammatory

Ragwort is fine on your hands just wash them after touching it, only poisonous if ingested. I spent many a summer as a kid pulling it from crofts that were getting cut for hay and didn't do me any harm.

@@janbuikema8941 only time the sap gets near you is if you snap the plant. The last few years there has been warnings for every little plant/flower that is poisonous, and on youtube I have seen lot of scaremongering and many failed petitions to the government to ban sale of foxglove and nightshade family plants/seeds. Foxgloves are a mainstay of every country garden and nightshade family produce some amazing foods as well as flowers

I've been told ragwort is not good to pull bare handed, as well. It's when it's dead that it's bad for animals apparently but i wouldn't want it live either.

Ragwort poisoning is also cumulative, so if she ate some last year and then some more this year it adds to the load already there and becomes more apparent that there’s something wrong. Hopefully it’s not this and whatever she has is curable
