Buttercup is evil! LOL! Is it toxic or does it give them blisters in their mouth if they eat it? That's what it does to my donkeys, and they know to avoid it.

Buttercup has roots that trail underground, so pulling it doesn't relly work.

Congrats on your new alpacas!

I beleive it can be toxic.

I have an acre or so pasture that has it. I've tried the round up but it didn't erradicate it, I never could get them all!

What about solarizing it? Is it in the sun or shade? Lay down black plastic for several weeks?

I never did get rid of mine. The animals just don't eat it, but it would be nice to replace the buttercup with something edible, KWIM?
Please post back with what you end up doing to get rid of it!

I have had lots of buttercup over the years and thru experience goats and/or geese will eat them and keep them gone.
