That stuff is a type of locoweed, Tap. Lamberts Crazy weed, I think, or some such. Pretty poison. We've got quite a bit on some of the gravel ridges.

Nice pictures. This sure is a pretty ol' country when she gets her spring colors on, ain't it? :)

Give her a good bath and color her hair green and she's hard to beat. :lol:
 
Pretty country, rainbows, cattle, horses, dead ducks and poison weed.........how can you beat pictures like that? :wink: :-)

I like them all, Tap, but my favorite is the one of Castle Rock. It almost looks like a pastel painting. Keep 'em comin'.

:agree: I couldn't of said it better...Great shots Tap...I like the windmill one..now you need to go back some evening and catch a sunset with that tall windmill...I'd bet it would turn out perfect!

You always joke about being a handsome feller, by nature of course :P , and this country sure looks handsome to me when it gets a good green covering on it. :-)
 
Awesome pictures, Tap. The Castle Butte one is a keeper!!
If it were mine, it'd be enlarged, framed, matted and on
the wall. It looks good enough to offer for sale at some of
the service stations in your part of the country.

We got half an inch of rain today. This country here
looks great, too. Do you supose this is the "next year"
we have all been waiting for? :shock: :P

That plant looks a little like lupine to me, but it has been awhile
since I have seen lupine. That sure is what came to mind first,
tho. And lupine causes cleft pallate, bug eyes, bent over at the
knees, and a few other things in calves when consumed by the cow at the wrong stage of gestation.

Believe you're right.........we got alot of that in our country, generally near marshy areas.

BTW, great pics........just kinda makes ya go to day-dreamin :)
 
That plant is cow vetch. It's a legume, makes a type of pea after it blooms. We have it all over the place here, but ours is a little different variety called Hairy vetch(has more vine to it). Cows love the stuff.

From what I can find in my grass and plant book for SD it's some kind of vetch. If Tap had taken a better picture, we'd know more. :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
JB, clean out your eyes! I told you it was in the vetch family, Lilly confirmed it was in the vetch family...... Do you have a problem believing us women after hanging out so long with Judith???? I know she is from BC, but geesh! :P :P
 
The plant is twogrooved poisenvetch.Most likely found in soils high in selenium.It will accumilate selenium in itself---rarely will a cow eat it but if she does --trouble.

Your a woman? :shock:

But, but, you type so, so ........manly. :shock:


:wink:

Yup, I knew someone was gonna call me on it, but I tyhink Juan has really nailed it down. Thats kind of what I thought but I couldn't see the leaves in Tap's picture or my book good enough.

I think we've had a few messed up cows from this in years past when Dad would turn into the warm seasoned grass pastures too early and there wasn't enough really for the cows to eat.

I stay on tame grasses, crested and brome mostly until they are past and then onto warm season pastures. Haven't had any trouble, much. Knock on wood. :?
 
Here we are selinium deficient, so the vetch is not a problem. We have other much worse poisons to deal with, like Tall Larkspur, Death Camas, Water Hemlock. Cows that live here year round seem to mostly know what to leave alone, but the cattle that winter elsewhere and come into the area for the summer tend to have suicidal tendencies when it comes to poisons.
 
I am glad to say that the picture was taken a ways off our ranch, and I do not recall having that plant here. As with DJL, we have lots of Death Camus some years, but it does not bother cattle much that I know of. I do not think they can eat enough of it to hurt them.

They have to pull it up and eat the bulb---gumbo soil and dry ground---no problem. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
