🌼🐴 Those yellow flowers everywhere? Let's talk Capeweed.
Capeweed becomes particularly noticeable when it flowers.
One concern with Capeweed is its ability to accumulate nitrate, and levels can be affected by environmental and management conditions.
If you have significant Capeweed:
🌿 Make sure horses have adequate alternative forage
🌿 Avoid allowing hungry horses into heavily weeded paddocks
🌿 Develop a pasture-management plan
🌿 Seek professional advice if you're concerned about toxicity
Don't wait until your paddock is completely yellow before thinking about management.
